Yes!!! This is my first online "friend" experience really. I do have a myspace and Facebook, but I only use it to keep tabs on my 15 yr old daughter. I haven't logged on in a while.

Looks like we want to loose about the same amount of weight! Now that I am approved and have everything scheduled I'm getting scared! What if it doesn't work?! I know I am being silly, but after being overweight for over 20 yrs, and never being able to keep it off for more than a few months, it is hard to believe this may work!

Good luck to all of us!!

right click on the banner that you want. then go to your profile page, and where your "signature" is, right click it again in the space you want it to appear . It will give you a preview. If you like how it looks, where it is, save it.

I know i did this a few times before i got it where i wanted it.

Hello everyone, I'm new to this site and very happy to see that there is a forum dedicated to July surgeries. I'm scheduled for surgery on July 7th (my mom's birthday too so it's already a great day). I began my 2 week pre-op liquid diet on 6/23. One week down and one to go.

Hi All!

Had my pre-op with the surgeon today. He just did a quick once-over, listened to my lungs, etc. Only 6 more days! I have already received a phone call with my instructions from the hospital and I am ready to go! I can't tell you how excited I am. Oh, and btw, down 7 lbs on the pre-op diet! yay! Bring on the band!:redface:

Thank you Bobbie! Hope all goes well with your surgery today! I will be thinking about you and all of the many other bandsters getting their lap bands today. Good luck and hope you have a speedy recovery! PS - make sure you get something for nausea from your Doctor...

        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.

      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
