I am in Rogersville. It would depend on how close you are and if our schedules were compatible, but I wouldn't mind a workout partner or even just someone to share the experience with. I am a teacher, and I'm in grad school, so I don't have a lot of free time, but we can see what we can do. Where are you from?

I'm in Elizabethton. Dr. Hodge did my surgery July 27th and I go for my first fill tomorrow. My schedule is a little crazy at the moment but maybe we can become email buddies and support each other. My email is lisadental@yahoo.com. Be sure to put lapband in the subject line because I get a lot of junk mail. I look forward to hearing from you. :-)

Well, I have been sick since last Friday. I am really hoping to be at the meeting tonight, but I wasn't able to work today. If I don't get to come, I will definitely be at the November meeting.

Well, I missed the meeting last night. I hope all went well. I really wanted to be there, but I haven't even been able to work all week. I will be at the November meeting if nothing else happens. I'm really ready to get started, and I want to meet some of you.

Okay...duh! I'm an idiot! The meeting isn't until tomorrow. Maybe I will get to meet some of you afterall. Then you'll truly know what a ditz I am. (I'm in graduate school, and my family all makes fun of me for being "book smart" but lacking common sense. Maybe they are right!)

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
