April 9th, 45 pre and post op. I have been at a stand still until last week and the scale is moving a bit know. I go for my 3rd fill on 02/25/10. After my last fill, Friday, I can feel a little restriction. It really lets me know it is there if I eat to fast and dont chew, Ouchers!!!!

I go for my 2nd fill on Tuesday 6/15. I too am excited. My goal is to lose 10 to 15lbs a month. I would like to lose a total of 100lbs by November.

I was banded on April 15th (Take THAT, IRS!!! heehee) and am down 31 lbs. pre- and post-op. I just had my first fill today! (That was kind of a weird feeling!) and am on full liquids for 48 hours. Had my 1/2 cup of potato-leek creamed Soup and "felt" it! Haven't had that feeling since the few days after surgery!

Dr. did not tell me how much he filled--my hubby was watching and said 'not quite one syringe full'?!? I am REALLY hoping to feel this restriction cause I have felt like I could eat anything (and almost any amount) for the last 2 weeks! My Doc was disappointed that I had stopped measuring, so my 1/2 cup bowls are back out (including one in my purse).. Good Luck, April Bandsters!! We Can Do It!!

highest- 277

current- 241.6 (let's not forget those point.numbers!! :thumbup:

goal- 169 (cuz that is what my DL says! :smile:)

I was banded on 4/8 and have lost 45 lbs. I haven't had a fill yet. The last Dr. visit I had he told me I didn't need one. I have another appt. on Friday, so I'll see what happens then.

My surgery date was 4/26 and I am down 33 lbs. No fills yet, I don't feel like I need one - I can pretty much eat everything, but I only take small portions -- way less I used to eat. My weight loss has slowed down to about 1lb a week, and I am happy with that:rolleyes2:.

Surgery was April 19th. I am down 41lbs from my top weight, 36 from start of pre-op diet, and 23 from my surgery date. No fills yet, none scheduled as I seem to be doing ok and don't want to be tighter than I need to be.:thumbup:

      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.
