Alex what a nice site to post on - it is really like another parents one I used to post on all the time. You have done a wonderful job and I love being part of anything new, so this is great for me.

If at anytime you need any sort of help my email is glenda6@hotmail.com.

I love to chat also perhaps we can organise a regular time on here for everyone who is interested (time zones are complex I realise).

Once again, as we say here in Aus - "Good on ya, mate" !

Alex, I am due to be banded next Tuesday 29 July here in Sydney Australia. I lived in Albuqerque NM for the best part of 2000, my partner is Canadian.

I do market research and look after my 14 month old, and spend an hour or two on the internet everyday - part work and part making friends from all over. I seem to get along better with you guys - but I of course I have my Aussie mates too.

Anything else you would like to know???

Glenda

Of all the bulletin boards I have been looking at this is the best I've seen. Everything seems to be here. I was wondering how to send a personal email to somebody, and was going to ask you about it. Then I looked at profile underneath the post and there it was. Nice Job.

Leo,

I had it enabled but it only allowed users to add it after 5 days of registration and 5 posts. I just changed that to 1 and 1.

      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.
