Yikes, I have gained weight - 1st time!



Recommended Posts

As of June it will be two years since getting banded, for the first time I have gained weight -11lbs to be exact.

I have never had this happen but I am not going to let it slide. I have an appointment in two weeks for a fill thankfully.

I am refocusing on my diet and exercise - looking back to my old success from when I first got my band, I just need to take good look at what I have learned and reapply it once again :smile:

I think it happens to the best of us. :thumbup:

Just think, you're still under 200 lbs, so that is awesome! I would do just like you said - refocus, etc.

I'm only 1 day out from my band - praying that I see a magic number under 200 at some point.

I always like to use the famous line from "Finding Nemo"...Just keep Swimming, Just Keep Swimming. :smile:

Give yourself a pat on the back for stepping in quickly and not waiting until things were waaaay out of hand.

You have the tools, now put them back into play. you can do it!

Get your fill, and go back to band rules. That is the joy of banded life. We can tune it up and be back on track.

Best wishes!

Thank you Cocoa Bean :thumbup: the fill will certainly help and just the past two days I have really looked back and refocus, plus utilizing this site is so crucial to my success.

      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.
