My Band Drama (still portless)



Recommended Posts

This sucks! What is with those Vegas docs, anyway -- don't they realize what's at stake here? It's ridiculous that you should have to do all of the legwork just to get a competent doc to read your endo. But after the muck clears, I am confident you will get a real answer. . . without having to go to medical school. Sending good vibes your way.

Medical School??? Just finish that book “Beliefs According to Delarlism” have it published, make lots of money on the circuit…Oprah, Leno. Hire your personal surgeon and open a clinic in Vegas just for all us bandsters.

Not only will we all be thin and healthy, but we’ll be sexually satisfied!!!

It’s all about the Money…

Dr. Billy is military when it comes to diet. He doesn't take any crap, and you can't pull anything over on him. One thing I remember is when he asked me why I had cheese in the house. His tone and seriousness may as well have screamed, "WHY THE F DO YOU HAVE CHEESE IN THE HOUSE, LISA, HUH?!"

Cheese is evil. As evil as candy. Sure, a slice or couple ounces is an excellent source of Protein and much needed dairy, but when's the last time I enjoyed a slender slice of cheese? Cheese just isn't cheese unless it's stretched 2 feet out in front of you or mounded in heaps all melty and lovely. MMM cheeessseee. Stupid cheese.

Tick tock, still on hold waiting to make my Gastro appointment. Love those phone recordings saying, "Thank you for holding." Then the girl finally picks up and says, "can you hold a moment.?" Uh, do I have a choice?

Put on your panty liners and get ready for a laugh. After 15 minutes on hold, the Gastro dept. says they have my referral, but it doesn't refer me. What? Yes, they have a referral form from my primary, but since it doesn't specifically say that I'm referred, it's useless. I asked "Doesn't the fact you have a referral form IMPLY that I'm referred?" So since she wasn't able to answer such a perplexing question, she blind-transferred me to Brenda, who proceeded to yell at me. I should know this, and I should know that, so I put on the drama and fake cried and make her feel like crap, then asked, "WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT A SICK PATIENT?" I could hear the "Oops" in her fat head as she started tap dancing and calling me Honey.

Back to square one. Circus music playing in my head.

Bwahaha haha!!! ROFLMAO!!

If that's taken, how about "Thin as Sin"? :) :)

I can't even say "Thin & Sin" let alone "Thin as Sin!" Can't do it, I try and try, and just can't do it.

But oddly enough, "Thin is Sin" is easier to say...

Lisa, you are my hero... from one circu freak to another

We'll just cut the middle man and call it "Thin Sin".

Hugs Lisa. Try not to kill any medical staff today, as hard as that may be.

:]

        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!

      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
