so now i dont have boogies in just my nose anymore! lol j/k

i am so sorry that you have children and a brother not on this side of the veil. kudos to you if you can survive that you can over come anything. Good luck to you! i just know you will make it. i joined this site in feb but didnt do anything on it until lately because i wasnt sure where i was going as a bander to a sleeve. i have found nothing but kind, inspiring people here and plan to join in as much as possible to keep myself going

me too new hope!! so we will both be sleeved on the same day, exciting and scary at the same time. prayers for everyone here!

holy crap i thought i was reading my story! hang in there we can only keep trying and praying right? i too had my band out it wasnt eroded but i had sepsis a few years back and well i guess it hadnt been completely cleared up because when they removed my band it was busted into pieces and covered in pus and my stomach was so overinflated it wasnt funny from an overfill. so here i sit in my depression, eating, ive gotten past the pity party and have been exercising and watching a little more than i was if nothing it will make me feel better. hang in there and please keep me posted i wish you well! i will get the sleeve november/december i hope.

hang in there i remember when i first was banded how i felt it did get better, i now personally at this moment am mad at food, it has been my friend, lover, consoler for so long yet i hate what its done to me when i look in the mirror or the glass doors of a store! i hate food, i will not be sorry to see it go! lol. like a bad date i just want it to go away, lol

here we go! tomorrow at 330 my lapband journey of disappointment will end. its been 5 yrs of hell and i have to admit im a little nervous but im also hopeful. i have a new surgeon and a new hospital. i believe the outcome will be much better than the band. this time around i kind of know what to expect. ive had my bag packed for 2 weeks now (think im a little anxious?!) i got my home in order so i wont have the compulsion to clean every 5 mins. , i even got a new sectional sofa to heal on as i cant sleep well in a bed now. the treadmill is set in the livingroom so when i need to walk i can hold on to something and set the pace. i have all the protein/liquids/creamys. got the nails done and facial. all my support people are waiting. hubby and my daughter are ready theyve been through the worst of this trek with me, im so grateful for them and so grateful i didnt have to do it alone. as a support he will do the liquid stage for a couple of days only because he doesnt think he can do it, but will do the creamys and up right along with me. it is so different this time.while im nervous thats to be expected im also excited, i have an incredible surgeon, a fabulous N.U.T, and an amazing therapist who is helping me deal with the mental addiction i have had with food since childhoood. food you are no longer my friend, lover, mother, nuturer you can go now. Ok Creator, im pulling the "ask, believe, receive" card. i know you hear me and will answer. so grateful! will keep my new friends on here posted!

i have heard that so many times if anyone knew my story they wouldnt say it or even think it. not everyone can come thru surgery, eat the way we do and deal with the mental side of things. it all goes back to the saying "if you dont have anything nice to say dont say anything at all". my usual response when someone says i took the easy way out is "you ARE dumber than you look"

congrats!!!! i cant wait to feel that feeling!!! it must be awesome!

ohhh i am so sorry for your loss! hang in there when the time is right you will get your surgery God bless you and your family.

rggg people like that boil my butt. just know that yes she is most certainly jealous and quiet possibly even afraid because you will be successful. dont be too surprised if she turns hypocritical a few months from now when she sees how great youve done and goes and gets surgery her self..

it doesnt sound like a pity party at all! i started to realize when i had the band that i had food issues and ive been in counseling and its been amazing just take your time. sometimes right after surgery things seem so different you will be ok.
