U go girls.... looookkkking goooooooooddd!!!!!...

Thanks, BabySista.

John, I will be there. Don't think I'll make the walk - It is an hour drive as it is - Jes, what do you think about that?

Oh, Nicole - my boobs need a planet of their own! You are right, they have NOT gone down (yet!) by band size has but not the cup - boo hoo - Love the pic with the sexy wet hair.

Tina - pray for me that they will, eventually, shrink!

Riley Jane - take it easy on that knee - another words, NO CAKES lol. Have fun in Lake Tahoe - you will be missed :tongue2:

Heather I have a dress for you that I got from Torrid - I've only worn it once! it's an 18 - I'll bring it Saturday - got another one but its a 20 (I think) It looks like it would be too big for you but we'll check it out - got some capri's too.

I emailed the Doc to see if I have any Fluid in my band yet. All of a sudden yesterday I got starving and am still hungry - I feel NOWHERE near full or satisfied on 1/4 cup. The only thing that worked really well was grits and I had 1/2 c - then I felt satisfied but only for about an hour. What's up with this? I'm suppose to be at goal and at my sweet spot by now - it's been a whole week already LMAO.

Reggie, Oh, Reggie, where for art thou! Hope you can come Saturday!!!!

Jes - had a good time! wish I coulda stayed longer - see you tomorrow!!

yea, we may miss the walk. I've noticed I'm getting up later and later every morning. So I think I may need to just focus on making the meeting on time, especially with the commute.

OK, Ladies & John -- jes & I are commuting together and it appears that we will miss the walk this weekend. We'd just slow you down anyway - remember we just has surgery and are having such a hard time getting around (sarcasm at it's best)

THIS ITCHING IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!!!!

Candra, one of those papers they gave you when you left the hospital has all three on there. It's probably in your binder LOL

I was looking online and I don't see the one with Dr P either maybe it's too far away? I was trying to schedule my appt with my PCP but I don't know, the system keeps saying nothing available.

Hey girls! Just popping in and thought I'd try to answer your questions.

1--the glue came off of me about 4 weeks post op. I was in NO hurry! I wanted those incisions nice and closed up.

2--the itching is a bitch! It should go away in a week or so.

3--they'll make your follow up appt with your surgeon. It'll be about 6 weeks post-op.

4--don't forget to make an appt with your PCP for 2 weeks post op. They'll look at your incisions and make sure you're healing well and not infected and just do a well check on ya.

Glad to hear you're all doing well! I'm so nauseous still, SO sick of it and I woke up today with a horrible sore throat and head cold. It really sucks especially since we're going on vacation in a couple days! Luckily we'll be relaxing at the beach and I guess I can do that while being sick too...dangit.

Have a great week!

      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.
