Tamra- I know you will be fine. Everything you are feeling I am very familiar with. Know that it will go quick and in 10 days you will feel normal again but a lot thinner. I tell you this is the BEST thing I could have done for myself and my family. Keep positive thoughts and positive will come your way.

yep its your barium swallow. Your surgery will be at 8 unless they have more than one lap-band tomorrow. I will be there tomorrow but not until 2, and you will be long gone home by then! Just think, in 24 hours from right now you will be banded and on your way home!!! You may even already be home and walking around. It's gonna be fine!!

Yes that is the same time I had my barium swallow scheduled - although I ended up having it at 10:30 am. I believe it is a place holder. So it looks like you will be first up in the morning - if they tell you you need to be there at 6:30 am you will be the 8 am surgery. How exciting.

Hey Ladies & John

Talk about not sleeping - I'm EXHAUSTED - I finally napped yesterday for about 5 hours. This darn Cat has had me all wound up - I am damn near 3K deep for this gal! It cost 250.00 for lab work - UGH! Anyway - as of yesterday there is no more slobbing and she's pottying on a regular basis - she must be 100% cuz I have a few new holes in my hands. She HATES me - LOL - I'm the one that keeps forcing pills down her throat and taking her to see that awful man that keeps sticking her with needles - UGH!

So, back to the not sleeping - that's me but I keep rading the fridge at like 3 am - WTF?

Lee - no binder reviews for me either - just the test that you take out and hand to Liz.

Tam - I was weighed in two gowns. So excited for you - what time do you need to be there?

Heather - I am so friggin done with Brides/Weddings and all that jaz - However, we did pick out new dresses for the wedding so I can wear a bra now - whew! I just had to put my foot down cuz I can't be running around popping out the top of the dress!

Pammie - so sorry I didn't make it this weekend - I was so looking forward to it but my kitty was just awful! She almost had to get an enima (haha). All this for that little ungreateful brat cat!

Jes - sounds like the B-Day weekend was a success!

Dizllizd - Welcome to our humble group! Tell us about your journey...

John - hope you enjoy Cancun!

      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.
