I met with Dr. Jay here in Dallas and I absolutely loved everyone that I met there! He has 4 lap-banders that currently work in his office. I'm going to wait until just after the first of the year! WOO HOO!!! :banana

It's a big decision . . . but after I decided, I became increasingly excited and hopeful about the results to come! Welcome to Band Land! You've made a decision that so many of us are happy that we made as well!

I was in Weds for a 3:00 appt! What time were you there? I was talking to a lady whom was banded 2 wks ago and she said that she was feeling great! A few others were newbies like me with the stack of paperwork to fill out! Haha We may have seen each other! :)

I just thought of something...someone came in for just pre-surgery stuff...blonde hair...maybe it was you! hehe Congrats on your upcoming surgery!!

I have to go to Portland for my dr's. appt., and I didn't dream that it might only be a few weeks before surgery. I was thinking I had to go on a waiting list or something. I will be thrilled if I go back 2 weeks later for the surgery. I am oh so ready. All tests are completed and I'm good to go....

Karen, I was in there around 3:30. You're right blonde hair, didn't have money for parking, there was a plano teacher and her friend in the waiting room, and right after I got there someone was called in that I didn't get a chance to talk to. Haha, how funny is that.

      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.
