I made a little banner for our "group"

See below VVVV "bunny bandsters"

If you like it the way it is -

go to this link and copy the Bulletin Board (1) code (near the bottom on the right)

go to your control panel (CP) and then "edit your signature" and paste the code at the bottom (or top) of your editable signature info.

Save and that should do it.

If you don't like this font or color or words - I'll fix it.

The code generator is SPARKLEE.com if you'd rather design your own.

(I have to work on my breads now - be back later today)

I love this Elayne but could you change it to bunny banster insteaqdk of banster bunnies or what does everyone else think????:? which way do you prefer?

I wish I knew how to do the poll we could vote. Jump in there if you know how to do it!

Hi Everyone,

I joined this site a week ago and mostly read, I haven't posted many comments. But I'm hoping to be an April Bandster too. So, far, my insurance company has responded quickly to everything, but now I'm waiting to get in to a consultation with the surgeon and April 6 is his first available appt for that.

Hopefully once we meet, things will move quickly. March is dragging for me...

I'm so happy for those of you that have your surgeries scheduled! I'd love to chat with anyone that is getting close, so I'll know what to expect.

Thanks!

Sissy, if you want you can copy mine or make your own too. I like the colors of mine b/c they are springish and remind me of easter bunnies...LOL :)

I talked to the surgeon's office today and found out I am officially approved by my insurance, and I scheduled surgery for April 1st, which seems VERY close!! :) It is just shy of a year that I started talking with my primary doc about this option, and up until today it seemed that it would never actually happen! but it is and I am excited. I first met with the surgeon's office in October, and since then I have lost 25 lbs, and I am so excited to see the scale continue to go down!

        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!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
