Oh boy!! When do I get to be snobbish? How long after banding? I wanna be like the cool guys. Is there an announcement? An award? Some initiation rite?

**Tap bounces excitedly in anticipation of this**

I believe you get a toaster.

Miztrniceguy: "i'm not snobbish, but I am a smart-ass, cuz its better than being a dumb-ass."

And Mistrniceguy, you don't speak to the pre-banded because they are all dumb-asses, eh?

Tapping dancer, yes there is an initiation rite. It's called surgery. And with it you get less ass and therefore you become known as a smart-ass, and can lose the dumb-ass moniker.

It's a lot to look forward to.

Man...I thought you got a gold watch.

A toaster? I can't even eat toast anymore.

I am, of course, only addressing my post-band companions. Pre-banders need not respond...

So far I can eat anything, haven't tried hamburger or steak yet.

Ok I will take one for the home team.

I admit it I am a snob under this definition:

A workman who accepts lower than the usual wages, or who refuses to strike when his fellows do; a rat; a knobstick.

Those who work for lower wages during a strike are called snobs, the men who stand out being "nobs" --De Quincey.

I really really need my job :cursing: :frown:

I'm with you, Glou. A toaster - bah humbug. I think the gold watch is for those who are at-or-below goal for 5 years OR for answering for the 1000th time 'What's a PB?'.

Ooh...those rascally newbies.

I think that's it...it's not the pre-banders, it's the baby-banders who ask dumb questions or eat 3 burritos.

Yeah, and when you getcher band, and you read what all the pre-banded or newbies (dumb asses) write, you LMAO, a lot. Hence the smaller ass.

I know I should be at goal because I have definitely answered "What's a PB" at least 5000 times! Who invented that term anyway?? Up-chuck-a-chunk is more appropriate.

I'm sorry, but I don't speak to the pre-banded.

Plain, I know that Dan is trying to be a comedian here, but I have to say that out of all the people I have met here, YOU are the funniest. :frown:

      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.
