I was banded in 2006 by Dr. Farhan. He did a great job! Hurley is a great place for support to get the band. I am so happy that he talked me out of the bypass. It was well worth the effort to get the band! I am so greatful everyday to him and his staff! Thank you!

:( Thanks Cassie! You can do it too--I am no special thing! How long have you been banded?

If there is any way I can help you let me know. I am happy to help anyone--but I tell it like it is the good the bad and the ugly! ;)

BBK...gotta tell you, Girl....you were one of the front runners that I looked to at the beginning of this race. That straight forward, the good the bad and the ugly was very helpful and I thank you for that.

@ Indigo--thank you my dear! :)

@ Apples--I am glad to hear that I could help. You are looking great--are you at goal you tiny thing??

BBK...I hit goal 4 months after banding. I was one the insurance had jump through many hoops b/4 banding and lost over 50lbs b/4 banding. Probably the best thing that could have happened to me. It gave me time to wrap my head around what I was in for and gave me the opportunity to study up what was to come.

Thanks for the wonderful compliment. This 54 yr old feels 30 yrs younger!

Good for you girl! :blink: I bet you are as healthy now as a 16 year old! AND that is what really counts in the end!

Yep BOO BOO, I can run circles around any of my young friends. A lot of perks come with feeling healthy. And, does not bother me a bit to walk into a store and KNOW I will find something! I am sure you know that feeling and it's wonderful.

      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
