Well in the case of my parents and my inlaws, they have medicare, a gov't. issued healthcare for those 65+ I think it is, as well as those individuals deemed handicapped beyond being able to work. But it pays so poorly that they all have a secondary insurance. My inlaws buy their independently, my parents is a continuance of their retirement, they are allowed to keep their insurance at their cost of course. Both pay in the neighborhood of $500.00 a month for the additional coverage. Takes a bite out of their Social Security and their retirement that is for sure.

There has to be a better way, but finding it, and implementing it have eluded those in charge thus far........

My hair is horrid!!! Top is flat, bottom is frizzy---I have had several stylists and none that has done anything I could do on a daily basis that is any better than what I do now!!!

Why do clothing manufacturers believe that if you are 'round' (that is, fat), you also have gorilla-like arms dragging on the ground, and the legs of a basketball player? Just because I'm fat does not mean that my body parts are disproportionately long!!!:party::angry_smile:

Why must my son share his lunch with the one kid that has rotten food? After cleaning up puke and sh&t all day yesterday and only sleeping about 2 hours I am just ready to tear my hair out. Maybe it is just a coincidence, but all signs point to food poisoning.

Ewww yuck, that would be the one time you wouldn't want your kid to be a good kid and share. I hope your son is feeling better now and that your hair is still intact!

I cannot stand people who just will not shut the eff up. Like if I am looking down and typing on my kepyboard while you are telling me about your cat's IV and trip to ICU it must mean I don't care. Esecially when everyone around here knows you are a pathological liar and you proably do not even have a cat.

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

      2. 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
