Hi, I'm Tina. I'm supposed to be banded at the end of April( no date yet). I'm very excited, and slightly nervous. I'd love to have someone to help me stay on track, and to go through the ups and downs I'm sure are to come. I'm very determined to do this right and make the most of it. I'm sure the necessary change in diet is going to be the hardest part as I love Pasta and pasteries! But, determined I am, so I'd love help doing what's best for me!

I meet w/ surgeon next Tuesday to schedule the big day and hopefully I will be on board with the April bandsters!!

Hi Kayla! My name is Tina, and I live in Bedford, Tx so we're almost next door neighbors. I don't have a date set yet, but they told me mid to end of April. It's kinda comforting to know there's someone really close going through it too. Do you have anyone to exercise with? By exercise I mostly mean walking for now. Maybe we can help each other through this?

All of my paperwork is being submitted to insurance this week.... I have my fingers crossed that I will be able to join all of you as an April Bandster! Good Luck everyone.

I just had mine done on Friday, April 1. I am so excited! The pain is already much better, I still have swelling, and only felt hunger for the first time today.

I usually don't give any credence to horoscopes in the paper but mine last week in the Austin Chronicle was interesting, it said:

"Your rescue is scheduled for no later than your birthday, possibly before. In the meantime, the best thing you can do to prepare for your release is to feel gratitude for all you've learned during your ordeal."

The next day I got a call from the surgeon's scheduler. The first available date they had for my lapband procedure was April 7th, my birthday. I said "I'll take it." I'm regarding it as a new beginning.

Good luck to everyone on their surgeries!

GOOSEBUMPS! It's a sign - Good Luck to us...

I am just starting my pre-appointments tomorrow. I have three this week and one next week. Then I meet with the surgeon I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I have about 150 lbs to lose, but I would be happy with 100, or just about anything.

      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. 🤞
