Good luck on your upcoming surgery and it will be here before you know it. I was banded on March 12th and it came and went so fast!!!

Thank you for the well wishes! I am sure it will go by so quick, but waiting for the date is horrid!

However, when put into perspective, it took many many years to get this heavy, and waiting another 12 days to start taking it off isn't going to kill me. :frown:

I had my band date for like 3 months, and it seemed like it was never going to get here, and now I'm sitting here and Friday I'll be banded for 2 weeks. It's amazing how time flies. TGIF is my new motto because every time I get to advance my diet is on Fridays :Banane20:

This Friday I get to start mushies, and I am so thankful for that, I'm really tired of drinking my meals. It has been weeks since I had a day without Protein shakes, except for the first week of Clear liquids, but 3 weeks pre-op and the last week it's been Protein Shakes and I'm so ready to eat regular food and not have to rely on them for my Protein source.

I was thinking today that it will be really cool in a few weeks, not only will I get real food in 3 weeks, but I'll get my first fill a week later, and get to start working out that same week :huggie: Yay I'm so ready, and really ready to be healed inside and out already!!!

      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.
