Recommended Posts

WOW! The board is not so lonely, lol Candra! Only when you not here with unbelievable funny summaries!

Congrats Analynn! Go on and be excited, yes let that hope happen! Same for me, w/in 2 weeks after surgery, I was off diabetic meds (just started before orientation), in Onederland (UNDER 200, I had not seen in YEARS) and energy to join the band (since I have one!)

AND you better be there on Sat! We need you, it is for all Kaiser patients as Pam said, also non Kaiser, if anyone has a friend needing support, for both Band & ByPass Patients, we separate the last half of the meeting to network and 'bond'.

Consider yur self as part of this BAND of Sistas of Surgery!

For all considering... SACRAMENTO SUPPORT MEETING

SAT, (the 4th Sat of EACH MONTH), August 22,

from 11:00 to 1:00 PM (sometimes 2 for us! hehe)

KAISER POINT WEST 1650 RESPONSE RD, SAC, 95815

We also try to go out afterwards for lunch, fun and fellowship for any who would like to go!

'Pammie', work it skinny mama!

By the way, I like the tattoo idea..told my son just the other day, what a goal gift that would be to me...I love roses...

How about BAND O' SOS (Sistas of Surgery) ? Ouch?!

Hope the fills are going well, Sweet T, hoping to see u Sat!

Hey Candra and Jess... I was looking at your signatures and I noticed both of you had a surgery date and then it was delayed? Do you mind if I ask why there was a delay?

Donna- I'm sorry I won't be there on sat either. You may have heard me last week say that we are going to a concert. Planned a long time ago, it will be good since we really haven't had a "date" in a while. I'm sure all of the other SOS will pour on the support.

Donna - are you leading the meeting again? I was going to take my kids to the Exploratorium in SF on Sat but then I saw the support meeting on the calendar and told them we will have to go the next Saturday as I can't miss my support meeting and lunch with my friends. I need to put myself first. My mom is going to watch them while I am gone.

        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
