I was banded November 4th. I'm so glad that part is over. Today is Monday and I feel much better. I've lost 7lbs. and still going. The heartburn gas thing is real, but it comes and goes.

I just want to get on to a little bit of food with substance.

Hiya everyone my name is Brooke...I have been researching the band for about 3 years and I will finally be a bandster in 7 days woooohooo cant wait. I am from south carolina, have struggled with my weight since I was about 7. I will be banded in Seneca South Carolina by Dr Michael Hughes. My insurance has an exclusion I believe so they wont cover the band so i am a self pay but i know it will be worth every penny I am spending.

Found out yesterday that I am going to be a grandma and having a lapband on Nov.22:) :Bunny

This week I finish with GI tests and a meeting to go over pre op stuff. I am very ready and am tring to find out what I should be thinking of about what to consume just afterwards. I am told so far, liquids and then mushy food. I saw a post on Instone pudding, I ordered some. Great Protein.

Surgeon: Dr. Billy in Ventura, CA

Dana,

So how did it go at first? What have you been eating or drinking? 11 lbs must feel good already, I am so happy for you, and being on the other side must feel even better.

I hate the waiting, but I figure I can spend the time getting geared up for very different food consumption. I've done so many fasting programs I imagine it will be somewhat the same at first. Have you been hungry at all, how is the restriction?

I am counting the days. Nov 22. glad it is before Thanksgiving. It will be nice not to eat!

Take Care,

Debra

So, everything went well, guys! I was banded Monday morning and arrived home yesterday morning. So far, so good. There is some soreness and some heartburn. Other than that, all is fine. So, for those of you whose surgery date is arriving, everything will be just fine. Besides, we will all be sending prayers and well wishes your way. Take care :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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
