Just looking for any fellow Canadians. I am (supposedly) having my surgery Feb. 28th. I am just getting over strep throat so I'm worried they will postpone it!!

I am having the surgery in Vancouver at the Cambie Surgery Clinic.

Hello to all the American Bandsters!!!!! I have family in Castro Valley, California and Coeur D'Alene, Idaho. I will get there one day!!!!! Maybe for a clothes shopping trip in 6 months or so!!!!

Hello from across the bridge. I had my surgery in Detroit Henry Ford Hospital. There are more CANADIANS there then people from Michigan.

The people come in by the bus full, because those Dr.s take your ins.. That's the whole big hospital. So if you ever need major surgery, and don't have the surgeons there for it.

Look up Henry Ford on line,and see what they offer.

Welcome to Band Land, and good luck with your journey neighbor...

      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.
