I waS also banned on the 21st and I have had some problems but got it corrected. They left the primer Fluid in the band. Had to go back to Dr. office and get the fluid removed. Got a reality check on what the fill process would feel like. I am sure it won't hurt as bad after you get healed up. They withdrew 3cc of fluid and I was set free. I went 4 days post op before I got relief. Now I am getting fluids and getting stronger every day. Good Luck and be patient.

happy for you all on your success however mine was not so good. I had surgery June 23,2010 and had to have the band removed on June 28,2010... very bad experience for me... I had severe nausea and it NEVER stopped after 5 solids days of it i couldn't stand it anymore and went to ER for multi testing,.. I have very severe motion sickness guess my stomach could not stand the pressure on my stomach!!!:) dr never gave me a reason, just well don't know.... sure wish someone, ANYONE would have let me know that motion sickness could be a bad thing for lap band surgery!!! It has been a very costly mistake on my part but I am feeling better, PTL~~

      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.
