Jimmy! Goomba!

Howz by youse Chicago paisans? And how's your 60-weight gunk? Back down to 10W30? I had a 60-weight episode yesterday (and I really did think of you) when I ate a little meatloaf, forgetting that there's bread in meatloaf and the rest was both history and truly disgusting.

Welcome!

Fully blocked for 13 days? Wow, how did you manage during that time? I saw a post elsewhere by a man who unfortunately had to have his band out after being unable to get anything down for several days. Very sorry that this happened to you as well, but it's good that you were able to keep your band.

Hey Quakergirl , How ya doin :

They sent me home the same day with IV's in my arm so I wouldnt dehydrate. The only problem I experienced was that Ima one of dose lucky guys whos veins collapse about evey other day and had to keep stikin a new pin in all the time. Couldnt even swallow my own saliva - couldnt sleep either cuz the saliva would back up into my wind pipe and I'd wake up chokin avery 8 minutes..... Only slept 8 minutes at a time for 13 nights- back then life sucked !!

Then on day 14 , I realized I had slept all night Like a bambino in my mothers arms -- jumped to my feet (or so goes da story)and enjoyed a bottle of grape gatorade. Now Ima eating fish , salads and Soup - dats about it and I wont be needing a fill for quite somtime because Im still pretty tight. ** Lucky Me**

Thanx for callin and I'l talk at ya again sometime..

      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.
