I really do not know how to post a message on this board but I am in need of encoragement. I got my lapband in 1/2/05 and I had one fill. I have only lost twenty pounds. I wanted to get a fill but with my insurance lapsed and I will have pay out of pocket. I faulted the doctor because everytime I call, and at the time I was covered his office told me that the person I needed to speak to was not there or busy. Consquently my insurance ended. I try to get a fill from another doctor that didnot use the xray and he couldnot find the port. His price was $150.00 and my doctor with xray is $400.00 plus you have to pay the hospital. I talk to the doctor and he said that he would give me a discount due to his customer service. The whole process of fighting for a fill started in the middle of april and it is now July. I had and appt for the fill at the hospital today and it was cancelled. the appt they gave me was 7/14/05. I really need to find a easier way to get a fill. I am just so depressed

Esmeralda you are gorgeous and so are your kids. Keep up the good work.

Paula you and your hubby make a cute couple. What is it with men, they never smile. LOL!!

Lightnsweet - we aren't ignoring you but it might be more helpful if you posted to a whole new thread or to a different thread. I know it is frustrating but it will come.

Penni, that tree IS beautiful. Its the background that makes it so eye catching.

And I have NO idea why this dufus (DH) NEVER smiles in pics! I just reviewed ALL the male pics on this thread and all of them have smiles - except for him! *rolling my eyes*

Esmerelda, GIRL! You are a knock out!

*Im making a formal request for you to change your avator pic to the new one*

Lisa, loved all the pics, but my favorite is the last one! I even laughed out loud.

Lisa, I actually do have extra kids. I have Skylar, and Casey and Terran and sometimes Chrisie and now Ayla, Spud's girlfriend.

hehe, during finals week, one of my buds in ID introduced me to his best friend. I dont' know how the converstation turned that way, but I said something about missing my boy-ohs at home. 'Your boy-ohs?" Yeah, you know all the teen-aged boys that hang out at my house...."

The look on this guys face was priceless! "uhm, why do you have a bunch of teen-aged boys hanging out at your house???" "oh, they are all friends with my son." "*silence* uhm, why do you let your son play with teen aged boys?"

At this point, Mark, my bud, is just dying. His friend though I was maybe 28.

years of being told I was fat and ugly, I suspect. I have a very bad self picture. I see photos of myself can can't believe it is me because the pix doesn't match what I see in the mirror. My older sister thinks it is because the camera doesn't capture "me." Maybe because I'm reminded that I have one of those downward mouths? I dunno. "fat and ugly."

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
