Lisa,

I'll be there and would be happy to be your buddy. I"m new to all this, and just learning about my options.

My name is Nora, and I'll be wearing a white t, black floral skirt, and black and white sandals.

See you tonight - save me a seat.

Ok Nora, I will look for that skirt! If you spot me first, I'm a blonde college student with light jean capris and a colorful tank top!

Hope we can find each other somewhere. I've been researching this since February and a frequent this site so I am actually very knowledgable on the whole thing, especially the insurance part since i've gone through three different types!

Seems just a short time ago that I went to Dr. Snyder's seminar. Now I am banded and I am so happy that I made the decision to have him do my surgery. My experience with him has been all good. And I really like Amanda, the person who does the fills.

I think most of Dr. Snyder's staff are lapbanders. Successful lapbanders at that.

I don't have any of the complications I read about on this board. I am not hungry. Not in any pain. I know what to do, what to eat, am losing weight, and feel great. The other thing I like is the ongoing support and classes.

Lisa,

I'm so glad we found each other at the seminar! I am very excited, and have an appointment with Dr. Kirshenbaum for a consult on 8/8. Please keep in touch and let me know what's going on with you!

Thanks everybody for the reassurance about good experiences with Dr. K.

How is it working for everybody in social situations? Do other people comment on what or how much you are eating?

Also, do you feel the port much, or is it visible under the skin once you reach your goal weight?

Thanks all.

Nora, I had a great time, and I scheduled my consult today, but they are very backed up as you can see by my signature. Good luck and keep in touch!

No one really seems to notice how little I eat in social situations because I eat so slow, it takes me just as long to finish.

My port does not show at all. Just the scar is visible.

      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.
