Introduction



Recommended Posts

Where is everyone?, I guess there were not alot of people for the month of August. Well I just wanted to introduce myself; my name is Sharmaine and I join the loser team on 08/26/2010 .... so far this has been of the best decisions i have ever made for myself. Before the pre-op diet i was 275lbs, after the pre op diet the day of surgery i was 251, and now 3 weeks after surgery i am 235lbs....yay me.....

There is another forum under Post-op that is called "August Rush in Bandland". There are quite a few bandsters who had surgery in August, including me.

Hey August Bandsters, I haven't been on the site much lately but since it has been months figure I should check in. Doing good and over the half way mark for my goal weight. How is everyone else doing?

Hello Maryjaja. I got this forwarded to my inbox today and feel like maybe I am supposed to respond. I haven't been on the forum in a very long time. I was banded on August 3, 2010. I lost nearly 75 lbs but went back to old habits and ways of coping with stress and realized today that I have gained 50 back. : (

Praying you do well with picking up on your journey!

      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.
