I want to skip our Vegas vacation!



Recommended Posts

Sheesh, my thoughts are all over the place! This August was to be our 3rd annual Vegas trip w/our good single guy friend. They do a football draft and then the three of us whoop it up and have a good time.

I'm focused on having my surgery, hopefully within the next 2-3 months., and I want to skip Vegas. My dh isn't soo much down with my idea. Way deep down, it's b/c I'm thinking, "I don't want to go, b/c I'm fat and I want to wait till next year and I'll feel so much better" Silly, b/c I went last year and the year before that....

It's almost like I want to stop living until I can start living with the band! I think it's making me kind of grumpy in day to day life. ??

Sorry to be a pain in the butt with all my concerns...!

You can't put your life on hold...

I would go and enjoy it while you can. After the band you won't be able to enjoy food or drink as much. Have a good time and take lots of pictures so you can compare this year to next!

I'd go for it in a New York minute! Have lots of pictures taken of yourself, and when you are a goddess next year go back to Vegas and have then taken again...what great "before and after" pix they'll be!!

I agree with the others. GO! Have a fabulous time. Get your mind off everything, and just enjoy yourself.

i can understand you not wanting to go. i go to vegas a lot. i will tell you that most people are totally relaxed and on vacation. everyone chilling. it may be just what you need. your man wants you there. most guys want to go alone. tells me you must be wanted.. i think you should be there for your man and try to make him happy. if hes happy then arent you happy.

Don't put your life on hold. I never did. I even wore swimsuits and went to the beach before banding. F%$# It!! It someone doesn't like it? F%$# them!!! They don't have to look. I did the band for ME. NOT THEM!! You go and have a marvelous time. Next year will be more fun in some ways and less fun in others. It's all relative and balances out in the wash. Just LIVE!!!

You guys are right....I'd laugh if one of my *larger* friends didn't want to go somewhere b/c of their size.

I especially love saying, "fu*k it!"

:) Thanks!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
