Bright News!



Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

Just thought I'd post a message on behalf of Bright, who was admitted to hospital this evening in preparation for her banding on Tuesday morning.

It happens that I 'met' Bright on this board back in August and she is now due to be operated by the surgeon who put my band in here in France (near Paris).

Just wanted to say she's very nervous but excited all at the same time!

Will update you all on her progress over the next few days. If anyone wants to say hi to her this week, I'll be happy to pass your messages along!

That's it for now.......

Sarah

(Banded 5 Augst 03, down 30 lbs and counting!)

Please let Bright know to walk as much as possible after surgery. She'll feel like a million bucks the day after!

Were all thinking of you Bright!

Hi folks!

Just to let you know that Bright was banded today at 2pm French time and I've just spoken to her by phone and she's awake and well!

Apparently her French is coming on apace and she even laughed at a dishy male nurse's joke as he put some more painkiller in her canula (as he injected the liquid he announced 'un aperitif Madame? with a wink)......

More news tomorrow when I see her - she's been thrilled with all your messages of support! Thanks!

Bye for now,

Sarah

Yay!!! Thanks so much Sarah for letting us know Bright is okay. Tell her that she should outrageously flirt as much as she wants - if her husband complains, she can always blame it on the pain meds. When is that ever going to happen again?!?! lol

Please send Bright love from her porn lover... :cool:

Sarah,

Tell Bright Welcome to the other side...and while you are there make sure she wears every pair of flip-flops she brought with...hate to see her pack and not use them!

Hi All

Many, many thanks for all your good wishes! Bright left hospital today and is now on her way back to Dublin. I'm sure she'll be on the board tonight or tomorrow to give you all an update!

Cheers,

Sarah

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
