After reading a few of the threads, I saw that there seemed to be about 5-6 people from Leesburg, and there was a mention about meeting up periodically.

I am also from Leesburg and would love to see something like this come about. So who else would like to do this?

It appears I might meet a couple of you at Dr. Pinnar's first Monday meetings as well. I plan on being at the one this Monday.

I am in Leesburg. I would love to have a Leesburg group! We could get together for support and excercise! I will offer to have a meet up at my house! :blush: I live in the Foxridge neighborhood off of Catoctin. Hopefully the rest of the Leesburg Bansters see this post! :)

If not, I'll make note of the posts I saw where people said they live here and PM them.

I sent PM's to the few I Leesburg posters I could find earlier today. I sent to screen names

Did you find any other Leesburg Bandsters?

I can't wait until you heal enough for us to start walking the trail together!! Do you have a dog?

AWESOME!! To be honest, I didn't look yet... hubby and I rented Hancock and I got engrossed. :blush:

I'll look, though, and see who else we can rustle up. Not only walking, but we can have little koffee klatches an' stuff. :)

Not only do I have A dog, I have two. Or better yet, these two dogs have a couple humans. :) And they love walking, which I haven't been able to give them much of.

Awesome! I have two dogs as well. Sandy and Bella. Sandy is a Sheltie and Bella is a German Shep. Bella is a rescue, we got her last year. She is still learning how to be a good dog on the leash. Sandy has lost almost 10 pounds since I began this journey! Her doctor is overjoyed! It is really difficult for dogs to lose weight especially a little dog. She was over 50 pounds which is a lot for a Sheltie! Your dogs will get fit with you! :)

I have a goldie-mix (Amber) and a Maltese (Casey), both rescue dogs. The female could lose a few pounds, but surprisingly she never got post-spay fat. The Maltese could definitely stand to lose a couple pounds as he looks like a little butterball to me. :blush:

I heard back from one of my PM's. He is interested in a Leesburg group so I pointed him to this thread to post. Hopefully we can all get together after the holidays.

LOL! :mellow: That is some gooooood stuff! :cool2: I had some after you left on my salad so my office is probably not very happy either.

My spinach souffle was also very good.

Hiya Chubby!

Maybe we can plan a Leesburg Bandster get together after the New Year. Beth and I live very close to Loudoun County High School. How close are you??

Glad you found the thread!! 8_6_50.gif

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

        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
