What the heck--I'm in too! staciepfender@yahoo.com

I also belong to a group on there -LapBand Divas--:thumbup: all the ladies on there (it is a private group that has alot of privacy settings for those of you who have not told of your surgery). I myself--well everyone knows! I find it easier that way and if they don't like my decision--then I don't need them:tt2:. I am finding that lately I could use ALL the support I can get!!

Hello everyone. Like most of you, I have not told everyone about my surgery.

I get a lot of spam requests on Facebook, so if you wouldn't mind clicking the add a personal message when you click the friend request button and just type in Lapband there so I know who you are...I'll do the same when I'm requesting you all. I think this is a great idea. :confused: akarthas@gmail.com

I usually do more with individual Facebook than with groups... but would be happy to join a group. Feel free to add me to your FB. FYI - not all my friends know, but I dont' keep it secret, they just might not all understand what the posts mean - for example, I posted about my bandiversary, and some asked what that was, and then were very supportive and thought it was cool...others didn't reply.

      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.
