Happy Bandiversary!



Recommended Posts

:rolleyes2: Today is my 3 months Bandiversary. I was banded 3 months ago on Sugust 11, 2010. I feel great and i have lost approximately 30 lbs since my surgery and 52 lbs including my prop diet.

I have a fill appointment on the 15th, not sure if i need it, but i am losing slow but it is working for me!

Happy Bandiversary to all the fellow bandsters who are celebrating 3 mos this week and next week! I hope everyone is having sucess with their bands! If not please, please hand in there, you can do it!!!!:blush:

Congratulations...and 30 lbs is not slow! That's 10 pounds a month. Way to go!

Congratulations. You are doing great. I don't think 30 pounds in three months is slow at all. Like the poster above noted, that's 10 pounds a month. That is about what I lost a month, and I was very pleased with that. If you are satisfied with your meals/snacks and staying full for 3-4 hours inbetween, I personally don't think you need a fill. Of course, that's up to you and the doctor to decide. Keep up the great work!

Thanks so much guys! Well let me explain "losing slow" each week i do not lose i may go 2-3 weeks before seeing a lose. But 30lbs is adveraged to about 10lbs a month. so yes that is good! I love how you guys help us to see things differently!

Hey, I am doing good:laugh:

About my fills, my portions sizes are pretty good, however i am not full for 3-4 hrs. I may only be full for about 1-2 maybe:crying:

Happy Bandiversary to you and to me -- we share the same surgery date! Looks like you're doing great! I'm at about the same 30 pounds lost since surgery. It's a good thing there are other people around ... I was in the same mindset as you as it's seeming like a slow weight loss but when you look at 10 pounds a month, that's great! Congrats to you and let's keep going on this great journey! :rolleyes2:

      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.
