hi Joy! thanks for responding. I would love to chat with you. I was banded last may, but my success hasn't been that great. I don't really like my doctors and I feel a little disconnected. I've lost 50lbs since may. I have a lot more to go... How about you? Any tricks or tips. Any problems? I live in San Diego. I'm 26. recently single, lesbian. Love to hear from you!

Hey!!! if kimma081982 is your birthdate, we are almost exactly a year apart!!! 081381!!!~ Leo too! I am in cold and snowy michigan! I would love to live where you are... ahhhhhh... but I would miss my 4 seasons very much too, I guess... recently single? breakup? on top of everything else you are going through.... I am definately here to listen... I was banded 9/30/08... sorry if I already said that... progress for me has been good, I guess... really want to make this work... 55 lbs down, almost half way there! Tips??? I weigh myself ONLY once a week... I do it in the morning and at night to get the most accurate weight... more than that and I play an exceptional numbers game that makes me go MAD, exercise, exercise, exercise (which has never been consistant for me, but I am getting there), Protein first... low carb when I can... although don't ask me what I had for lunch today... naughty!!! Hmmmm... find a surgeon you like??? Mine is rush rush, but the RN that runs the joint is a lot more thorough... problems??? Port pain comes and goes... gas pains are a B$T$H!!! and my second fill was rough... wont get one for a while... next appt is for Feb 9th... I think that I am gonna decline a fill this time, for now.... MISS my BREADS and pastas....

OK I will shut up now.... how about you dear?

hi Joy.

My surgen is very rushed too. He barely says hello. But his RN is really great. This must be true of a lot of them. I have had three fills and I still feel like i need another. The nurse had said that it sometimes takes a year to find the perfect fill amount. Others get two fills and they never have to change it. I have been getting in the excercise and have started running! I used to only walk. I am also obsessed with ab workouts... sometihing about the burn! As far as eating goes... I have a really hard time. Sometimes I can hardly hold down one bite of food and sometimes I can eat what seems to be too much. I wish it was more consistent... I still think I have more learning to do about what my body is telling me. Anyways... enough about me :)

How's your cold day! heheh j/k. I think you mentioned you were married? Any kids? How about your hubby... Is he dieting with you?

I am a leo too! August 16th, same as Madonna!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
