OUR One Year Surgiversary!



Recommended Posts

I'm not at my goal yet...and the weight is coming off slower than I'd like. Although I would not change the past year for anything! It's still the best decision I've made for myself. :)

How is everyone else doing???

So glad you posted this. I feel like I'm moving slow as well of course after a wild few months- everything got thrown off track. My husband and I took in our niece and nephew so that has really changed our lives. We went from no kids to a 4 year old and 16 year old. Talk about drastic change. I had to get an unfill last month due to some inflamation and heart burn. Unfortunately I have gained 2 pounds but trying not to beat myself up about it. I had gotten to a point I was struggling to drink so once I was unfilled and able to eat, I have. Trying to get it back under control though and am scheduled for a refill first week of Feb. Thank goodness!! But anyway I was banded 2/12/10. So hard to believe its been almost a year. 80 pounds gone!! Hooray!! I would have liked to have lost 100 by my first bandiversary, but I'm really tickled about the 80. Love it when people haven't seen me in a while and tell me they didn't recognize me..lol.. love it!! Hope everyone else is doing great and that all of our Feb. 2010 bandsters let us know how they are doing.

My scale has been stalled for 2 weeks now and I am hoping that by Monday it at least be 306! I weigh in on Feb. 1st and wanted to be 303 to be a total of 15 down from my last fill 6 weeks ago but 11 or 12 will have to do!

I'm about at the one year place as well. The loss is much slower than I thought it would be, but I agree that it is the best thing I have have ever done for myslef. I have finally reached proper restriction and have had it for almost 4 weeks, and after a nearly 6 month plateau it looks like the scale is moving. Hopefully it keeps moving in that direction!

Well, today is my one year anniversary and I am not at my 1 year goal but I am very pleased with the progress I have made so far! 1 pound a week loss is okay for me as long as it never comes back! I plan to lose another 60 pounds this next year as well! Good luck Feb 2010 bansters!

      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.
