Slipped Band



Recommended Posts

Already did the States & Mexico 2 years ago for 7 weeks. I have an uncle in Florida and his 2 kids live in Manhatton and Conneticut. He used to live in Conneticut but retired with his wife to Cape Coral. I also had an uncle in Mexico but he passed away so we went to visit my aunt and the kids. Had a great time but it burnt a hole in my pocket.

Maybe somewhere in between??

Is Tahiti in the middle? Ha, ha!

I think you need a list of where the people that are willing ( Have time etc) to meet and come up with a middle ground.

I'm in CT!

Anywhere in the northeastern, U.S. is easy for me. I live 1 hr north of N.Y.C. If we were truly planning to meet overseas, I probably could manage it with a lot of notice.

Thanks Donna. It wasn't a slip after all, it was a band placement error. I had it redone on 10 July and so far all is well. I've just finished my 2 weeks of liquids and now onto the mushies stage again. I believe all is good now and hoping that there are no other problems. At least the weight is coming off again! :thumbup:

Ok....Sades...you just live to dang far. However, I have always wanted to go to Australia. I want to see a kangaroo...and a baby kangaroo and of course Koala Bears. I know that I can go to a zoo but down under would be awesome. I also want to go to see Hillsong in Sydney. It is a large church over there that has an awesome music ministry. I am the worship leader at my church and I do a lot of Darlene Z's songs; she is the worship leader for Hillsong. Anyhoo! I digress. I really would love to go to Australia not sure how to pull it off but I can dream..

If we have a few nymphs from the NE, we could at least do a regional meeting unless we have some from the south etc, then we could meet in DC or someplace.

For the NE, I would vote for Boston or someplace where we could plan some sightseeing. We could go Shopping or do a duck tour.

Newport has a lot of great shopping and sightseeing too.

Any other ideas? Tahiti and Australia sound great and really expensive!

Ah Hillsong... I'm not into it but I know there are heaps of people joining every day. My friend's daughter was a member for a few years but she's moved on. I didn't realise they were Australian. Oh well, you live and learn! :lol:

I think you guys might have to meet without me and just send the video. I will have a holiday on my own and send you the video... almost like being there! :scared2:

Australia's not expensive for me... :thumbup: :biggrin2:

No, you're right it's not! I can't even guess how much an airline ticket to AU costs or one from AU to the states! Got to be a lot!

I think a late fall weekend somewhere would be nice!

I'm actually going to be in Rhode Island the last week of August renting a house with the lady we went to the Cape with. I'll only be 25 minutes from Newport. Getting there in the fall would be pretty easy too. If you all would like to plan a fall getaway, I'm up for it!

Sorry, Sades. I would love to meet you too!!

Anyway, going for a fill today. I was able to eat way too much in Cape Cod and did. Put on 3 pounds! It should come right off with a fill and hopefully propel me into Onederland. No way am I changing my ticker to show the weight gain! I hate getting fills. I'm sore for a week and don't feel normal for about a month. I think I'll just stay on liquids and mush until the end of the Summer Meltdown!

Hi Sade

How are you doing, I hope you are well.

Thanks Marie. I'm doing pretty well now, it's been 3 weeks already since the 2nd op. I'm on the mushies stage now and have lost some more weight which is great. How are you going with your restriction?

I understand Cindy. You guys have an opportunity to do it much sooner than if we planned something.

And of course, you will come visit me. Hope the fill went well and I am keeping my fingers crossed that you don't have to many issues. I haven't had a fill in almost 3 months and still get stuck daily. I don't know when it will loosen up but I couldn't eat more than 3 bites of breakfast..did alright for lunch and had trouble with dinner. Finally gave up and ate an ice cream sundae...I know it was bad for me but I was hungry and it went down smooth. I've gotta get rid of the ice cream from this house...dang it.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
