Seriously curious

Diet Coke, when consumed with ANYTHING, will cancel out all calories. As for liver, who would even eat that?? Ewww.

Diet Coke is also a great douche but only the kind in the bottle. Cans - oh, no way, baby. Aluminum will destroy your band. I read that in my pre-op instructional booklet that I have laminated and will keep for all of eternity. Or until I am forced to switch to the sleeve.

I'm from the ghetto. I don't know what big fancy words like negate means???

It's a short gate, about knee height. It's the shortened version of knee gate. :o

Dunno. Depends on how ghetto you are.

I think you can find them at the little people stores. C'mon, can't you do ANYthing yourself?

No, I can't do anything for myself. Don't you know that's why I come here, so everyone can tell me exactly what to do??

Well, I had a fun day. I dropped off a $5000 check at my surgeon's office. Now, I may be a bit sensitive 'cause I'm getting banded soon, but...I swear I heard the receptionist say it was great that I came by. Now they could actually afford to turn the instrument sterilizer thingy on again. Should I be concerned?

Then, I went grocery shopping. With my dad. He rode in one of those motorized carts. We have been asked not to return to that store or any others in their chain. Again, should I be concerned?

I'd be more worried if even after your $5,000 they still couldn't turn on the sterilizer thingie.

Your doc is doing it as an outpatient in his back office, right? In a barcalounger?

Gee, you're one to talk. I heard your doc did your band in a LaZBoy. At least mine has fake leather. Faux suede - ewww, how tacky for you.

But I really hurt where my band is. And I want to get pregnant but I'm overweight by 200 pounds and my doctor won't help me get pregnant. Will the band help me?? Someone answer soon.

So how do you want your doctor to help you get pregnant? Mount you? They might charge more for that. Just sayin'...

      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.
