The 80's were a great time...but I'm no 'goth' girl!! I like the September Slutpuppies too!! But I figured if there were guys in the groups it might not fit for them.

I actually went in for my band on 3-6-08, went into surgery, they opened me up, then pulled out becasue my Surgeon said she couldn't sew the band in; my stomach was in the way. So, they wanted me to lose 30 more pounds on top of the 55 I already did.

So basically, I've been spending the last 4 months trying to do that, but my head wasn't in the right space, then the weight just stopped coming off so easily and finally the Doc said she thinks my stomach fat is soft enough to manipulate it properly. They aren't going in the "traditional" way and I will have a whole new set of scars. But hey, I know I'll lose a bunch of them when I get my PS.

In case you're wondering. I'm "apple" shaped with the majority of my weight in my lower tummy area. I have relatively thin arms, legs and face and probably only look about 50-60 pounds or so overweight in those areas.Though in reality, I was 227 pounds over weight at one point and now about 130.

My situation is not common place and there are people bigger than me getting the band, but unfortunately my weight is not spread out like most people's.

I'm hoping everything works out this time. I'm doing my best to continue losing as much weight as possible. I figure the more I lose the easier the surgery will be and the less I'll have to lose after surgery. I can't say that I'm not worried,though. I am and trying to be as positive about the situation as I can be. :biggrin:

Pandagirl ~ whoa...you have been there and then some!! Like you said the 30 pounds that you have to lose will make it so much easier in the long run. You are definately on the move!!

I guess we have totally different body shapes...I carry my weight EVERYWHERE, but my waist/stomach. My butt, breast, arms, thighs...so I hope I lose it proportionally.

Well if you ever need words of encouragement let me know...I have pom poms.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
