Hi, I am also from Longview. I was banded in Monterrey Mexico on May 12th, 2005. I have only lost 30 pounds to date. But I struggle daily to stay on track and not eat the wrong things, or try to eat past the band. I go to Portland for my fills, my next one, the second one is the 25th of August.

Hi, Kathy,

Finally someone from Longview area to talk to. I had my surgery in May 2005. My surgeon was Roberto Rumbaut M.D., Monterrey Mexico. I just hit the fifty-two pound mark. It seems such slow going, byt if I had a little more time to get a bit more exercise, I am sure it would help. But basically, I am sure I am a bit lazy.

I am a hair stylst, have been for twenty-five years. I work in Kelso at Simplicity on North Pacific. It's a new salon, and I love working there.

I am married, for the third time, but for nearly seventeen years, I have four daughters, all grown, but in the area.

I would love to meet you, or at the very least talk on-line or whatever.I understans that you are in Castle Rock, well I grew up in the Seaguest Park, Silver Lake area, on Van Horne Road. Oh so many years ago!

So, if you are interested in having a fellow Lap-bander as a pal, give a holler.

My full name is Pearl Brown my number is 577-3511. Hope to hear from you.

Have a Happy and Bountiful Thanksgiving,

Pearl

Hi Pearl,

Like I said in my post I don't come here often. I came today because I am having some health problems and don't know where else to turn. As soon as I get this figured out I would love to meet up.

Sorry it took so long for me to respond, hope your still hanging around here.

Kathy

Hi! I am in Winlock, just north of Longview. I am trying for insurance, but also looking into going to MX. Has anyone had their insurance approved by Regence? Love to talk to you!

Hi, I am in Longview. Did not have Regence, I have Cigna and it was a no go with them, so I did go to Mexico, with not one regret. I went to Monterrey Mexico. My surgeon was Dr. Rumbaut.

        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!

      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
