I'm coming up on my three year "anniversary"

has anyone been banded for awhile? It'd be cool to find some people in the same boat as me!

Thanks : )

I will be at 2 years on Sept 30th. I'm getting there slowly. Would love to lose 30 more but would be happy with 20.

i was a lot closer to my goal a year ago, but i gained some weight back. I'm trying to get back on track. I thought I would be at my goal by now, but I'm not going to let that get me down!

Thanks for all the replies : )

It'd be nice to chat with you guys sometime!

How did you did you get yourself back to losing. I am about 2 1/2 yrs. out and lost about 48 lbs., but have slowly gained back about 15 pounds. Very discouraged. Still can't eat much, but seem to be able to gain.

I am just over three years out, lost about 80 pounds and want to lose 40 more. It does get harder with time and I need to get in and get a fill, as I have lost some focus. But I am not gaining, so this is better than any diet I have ever been on. Went from size 24 to 14-16, and basically feeling ten times better.

I am about 2 1/2 years out. Not quite to goal, but maintaining my loss with ease.

Also not sure what I want my goal to be, maybe I am there! I am at a normal BMI and my blood work is good, yay!

My problem is I still have restriction, but I'm not losing anymore. So I don't think a fill would be good for me. So I don't really know why my weight loss stopped.

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
