Aussie Bandit says hi.



Recommended Posts

G'day everyone,

My name is Jason and I was banded on the 8th June,2010. I live down here in Australia, I'm single and 40 y/o. I only endured 3 days of minor pain/discomfort after the surgery and I'm now into the "mushy" food stage of the process.

Looking forward to reading about everyone's weight losses and asking/answering any questions that may come up.:devil_smile:

hi jason

congratulations on getting your band. looks like you are getting great results which is fantastic. i got my band done about 2 years ago and have lost about 30 kilos i have had quite a few medical problems unrelated to the band which has slowed my weight loss down the last 12 months but i am so glad that i have done it . it is the best thing i could have ever done.

would be happy to answer any questions you have (if i can)

i look forward seeing your results

Jane

      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.
