justpeachy gratz on you starting on your journey. i really believe that its up to your insurance company how long it will take you to be banded. i got banded in austin because alot of the doctors here did not take tricare care since hubby is military. they wanted to charge me like 1500 to 5000 in patients fees which is insane and crazy so i went to austin but once i got approved i got banded withing two weeks.

with recipes go i dont cook much. i lost my chef two months ago(hubby got deployed for iraq) so i usually eat a Cereal bar or special k Cereal in the morning and for lunch i either eat a sandwich or a lean cuisine. dinner i usually either skip it or eat what i cooked for the kids. best thing i can say is just eat smaller portions. i have had two fills already and i can still eat anything. so its pretty much me that has to limit my intake.

as for the excerise motivation is so hard......... which you prob already know that. what i ended up doing was getting a personal trainer for 2 months three times a week and it keeps me going. i have a gym membership at 24 hour fitness and i usually go to either the gym at forth worth off i35 or the one in southlake. i like the southlake one because the kids club. my kids like that one better so i usually go on my off days when i dont have the pt. i have a hard time going to the gym as well but i go because i want to get the weight off. im always looking for a gym partner so much easier to go to the gym when i know i have to meet somewhere there. so if you are ever up for it ill me more then happy to go to the gym with you i usually just do cardio mostly the eliptical machine and hit the sauna for a bit.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
