Hi

My name is Susi85 and i was banded 11/25/09 as well as having a ventral hernia fixed. I am unable to exercise much w my work schedule and extreme fatigue. Needless to say i have only lost 30 lbs and have started eating all the wrong foods and too much. I need someone who is willing to help me help myself.

Is there anyone out there? I need more one on one.

Thanks alot

Hi Susi:

I'll be glad to offer any help that I can. You can email me directly or send me PM's. First suggestion is for you to start journaling what you eat so you know, really know, what you are pyutting into your body. Second is to set up an appointment with your doctor for a fill if necessary, or a "head adjustment" if that is all that is needed. Third suggestion is to get hooked up with a lap band support group if possible, and, no matter what your schedule is, make it your business to attend at least once a month. whew, I hope I haven't overwhelmed you, You may find osme more interesting ideas that could work for you at my blog Sandi's Banded Living — My Lapband Weight Loss Success Story

Looking forward to hearing from you so you can start on the road to great health again. And, by the way, Celebrate the pounds you have lost and the fact that you are now doing something about continuing the process and learning to use your tool again.

Sandi, Thanks for sharing this. I visited your site and it's exactly what I was looking for. I have read and read and read but your site put so many of the pieces together. It helps that we have similar stories w/r/t age, success, and weight being the one area where success was a challenge. Mary

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

      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
