My surgery date is May 25th! I am currently finishing day 2 of my pre op diet which so far is not going well at all. Mine is an all liquid 800 calorie diet. No solids, no veggies.. Two days in and I'm HUNGRY! I told my husband to hit a cow and bring it home... I'd suck the blood (its liquid!)... I even sucked on a cracker. SAD.

Anyway, I've been working on this from the first day I found out my husbands new insurance would cover it. I did my 6 month Dr. supervised diet (lost 30 pounds - gained 10 back), then had my Gall Bladder taken out. Then we waited for insurance. It was submitted in February, and approved just last week. I called my Doc's office Monday and got the OKAY to start my diet and have surgery in two weeks! WHOO HOO!

I do my pre-op testing on May 16th.

HI All,

My name is Sherry, and this is my very first post. I am all set to have the lap band installed in less than a week, on May 19th. I am super nervous! I am 38 years old, and weigh 230 pounds. There are so many people on this site and so much to read, its nice to see that there are so many supportive people out there as well as others who will be traveling the same journey.

Best of luck to all!

Sherry :)

Just seeing if anyone else is being banded in May. Our time is coming quickly and before we know it, it will be here.

Yes, my surgery date for my Lap Band Is On Thursday May 19th. I start my pre op liquid diet Tomorrow the 15th.

Best of luck to you and to all the May banders. Let's stay in touch ok?

I don't know how to do the ticker thing. But I will say I am 52 years old and I'm at 318 lbs and need to lose about 160 lbs. May God Bless Us All On Our Jouney

Hugs,

Rose

      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. 🤞
