I will be banded on January 12th too!!! However, it will be in Upstate NY. I do not have any pre-op paperwork yet... Maybe I should call my surgeon? I was there yesterday and gave them the paperwork I need them to fill out for me to take the time off work.

Congratulations!

The only paperwork I have is the list of things I can eat for the 60 days after surgeory.

Will you be spending New Years on the liquid diet too?

Hello Everyone,

This is my first post I started all of this in August 2009, I didn't post because I was waiting for my surgery to be approved.... Just heard yesterday that I am approved,,, I am so excited. I am in Albany NY and my surgery date is January 4th, 2010... What a great way to start the new year. If anyone would like to connect let me know. Tlmdays @aol.com

This is my first post also. I started the process in August as well. I was denied by my insurance and then reversed. My surgery is scheduled for this coming Monday, December 28th. I am happy and nervous at the same time.

I am doing ok. Still taking Gas X and on Clear Liquids, doing a lot of walking. I did not sleep too good last nite but read that a lot of other bandsters had the same problem. I have been cat napping today. Overall the experience was not bad. Feel free to ask me any other questions.

      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. 🤞
