Car Wreck



Recommended Posts

I was driving home last night. I took the interstate. I NEVER take the interstate, but I had to go do some shopping for my oldests 4 yr birthday party tomorrow night.

I HATE INTERSTATES!!!

I had this fella cut me off. I was a little miffed, but decided to let it slide off my back just like everything else. I pull my foot off the gas pedal to give some didstance between me and him. Ya know... the old 2 car length rule... Thats when I saw break lights... It looked like a gigantic-poorly-decorated-christmas tree! So the guy that just cut me off had to swerve to keep from hitting the guy he was TAILGATING! I thought to myself, "Good move on your part for the 2 car spacing. I was just almost stopped on the highway. Next thing I know is my head was HURTING and I INTANTLY had a headache! It wasn't till I saw a little cloud of smoke waft past my truck that I realized I had been rear ended!

Nothing too bad on my truck, just some scratches to the bumper and some plastic damage. I don't really care about how the truck looks anyway. It is what I call an A-B truck. It is UGLY but it gets me from point A to point B reliably.

The fella that hit me was in a full size chevy cargo van. My bumper put a crese in his front bumper. Hardley noticable. Poor guy, It was his birthday... Well, the lady that hit him in the rear... her car was SCREWED UP! The hood looked like an accordian! She drove the car away so it must not have been too mechanically messed up.

Cops cited her for following too close. Almost $300 ticket! OUCH! AND 4 points!

That cop said they had worked somewehre around 50 wreaks already that day! CRAZY!

So... I say all that to say this.

Do you think I need to worry bout my port or band? I got josseled up pretty good but everything seems to be fine.

Wow, TX!! A three car accident. Could have been a lot worse!!! All because some idiot was in a rush. I'm sure he went on his merry way oblivious to the mayhem he left behind. So glad you're OK! Your port and band are probably fine. Everything is stiched in place. Why don't you give your band doc a call just to be sure?

I'll bet your band is fine, but I wouldn't be surprised if you were a little tight for a few days because of stress.

I'm glad you didn't get seriously hurt. That's a little Xmas present for you to be grateful for.

Good to hear from you. Hopefully we won't have to wait for another traumatic event before you check in again. ;o)

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

      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
