hey everyone! i just was online checking in and decided to say hi!

things have been really busy for me! i worked my but off all summmer! i then went on a three week vacation to visit my family and friends. calvin brought his parents to TN to meet mine. we had a blast!

but now its back to reality. back to work!

bandwise...i wish i had better to report. things have been ok. i have had a few unfills and refills. the latest was a refill under flouro. thankfully my band hasnt slipped and shows no sign of erosion. the dr gave me a fill and i asked him to take out .1 from that, just for good measure. then went on my way.

i seem to be good so far. going slow on liquids.

so i see that lisa's got a new job!! i was a 'suprise lady' for 3 years so i need to email you! i hope all you oldtimers are doing great and newbies make sure your reading the old posts too!

i keep waiting for things to slow down so i can read up on how everyones doing. i did peek in the photo thread and had to look at EVERY ONE again. its a powerful lil post.

Hi Shelly,

Glad you are back. I saw you on OH today as well. I gained about 10 pounds from my all time low when I quit smoking in May. I have not been able to get the 10 off and since I have had plastic surgery, I am still about 9 pounds from my lowest. I am certainly hoping it is swelling, but I did not have any restriction because my plastic surgeon accidently removed all my saline instead of a partial unfill that I asked him to do while I was knocked out in surgery. My lapband surgeon refused to give me back what was taken out even though my band was empty. He gave me 1.00 CC and I had to go to another surgeon to get more saline. I now have 2.2 and I like this level of restriction so far. How is Calvin? Seems married life is treating ya good. I would really like to come see you sometime in the near future. I miss ya.

      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.
