Any doubts, fears? I am excited but a little scared about the unknown - This site helps to answer questions but I guess at the end you just need to go do it...

You are In my prayers...

Yes! March 8. I'm finishing up what I have come to think of as my Farewell to food Tour, which was not a smart idea but I did it. So Monday I am to begin a better eating and exercise routine. I am nervous but excited about it all. Just got the date yesterday.

LB date March 12, 2010 and started pre-op diet on February 19th, 3 days on pre-op so far so good. I am actually full and not starving, which helps a lot.

I am not nervous about the surgery but fearful of the unknown in a way. I want to be very successful and not fail!!

There is a march bandsters community at Spring into March where others have already gathered for support if you are interested.

Hey March 2010 folks. You are almost there. Welcome. I'm in my 4th year and very grateful, loving Banded Living. I'm really into paying it forward. Learned a lot on my journey. I posted a link to a list of things to stock up on before surgery that people that the February group found very helpful. Here' s the link from my blog:

Preparing #001: Things to Stock Up on Before the Day of Gastric Banding Surgery

Please let me know if you find it useful.

      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
