I wanna come too!!! :eek: Somewhere beachy does definitely sound most appealing...maybe because I haven't actually been to the beach in over 4 years because I refuse to put a bathing suit on. :crying: It really sucks because I love the ocean soooo much...and I need a tan big time!! haha Count me in....Vegas is really not my thing, I gamble enough at Foxwoods so I'd rather stay away! I'm sure alot of you were self pay for the surgery (I wasn't thankfully) so Vegas is not the best place if you're trying to save money (or in my case, paying off alot of debt)!!!

I'm all for Vegas. I live near skiing and still wouldn't ski (bum knee etc.) and you can be beachy in a bathing suit at a pool in Vegas. In fact I think it's the Hard Rock hotel that even has a sand beach at it's pool. Plus it is cheaper to get to generally airfare wise, seems there's always a deal to Vegas. As for gambling, wouldn't have to gamble if you didn't want to.

I agree about being more positive. My family comments on that all the time about me. And I am doing things I never thought I would, i bought a bike! I hiked in the mountains. Who is this woman???

Vegas, Vegas, Vegas! We go at least once yearly and I am MORE than ready to go for this wonderful get together! The nice thing is that there is so much to do with our new friends that if you don't like to gamble (like me) there are plenty of other things to do.

We have to make this happen!

So when is this, sounds like Vegas, gathering? Inquiring minds want to know and save!! Instead of gambling we could shop for new wardrobes!

That would be a neat way to Celebrate our 'bandiversaries'!

We could all go to a buffet together and present our restaurant cards to order from the childrens menus at the same time. Though I still don't think I could get my money's worth at a buffet! And I don't want to! I have done enough of that in the past. I was just joking about the buffet!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      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
