What an inspiration you are!! I hope to be banded in a few weeks. If you can remember back when you first got the band, any suggestions for Protein intake? Any other outstanding points from your journey?

Insurance Approved!!!!! Got my surgery date of May 24th :D

It's funny how you can be sooo excited one moment and scared to death the next, but I am really looking forward to a new chapter in my life. I have been doing a liver shrinking diet for a few weeks now and will do that up until the day before surgery which is Protein Shake for Breakfast and lunch and light dinner of veggies and lean meat. Lots to do to get ready!

Yay! I just got my surgery date for May 24th also :) Keep in touch! Maybe we can help eachother in those few days after since we'll really be in it together. I have a 2 week clear liquid diet, no veggies or lean meat before so hoping I can get through that without too much trouble!

:rolleyes: I am being banded on the 3/10/11 in the afternoon. I will be at the Marina Del Ray bariatric center. I hear it is a center of excellence so they are very experienced. I do have a few worries. I had to be transfered from the Advanced Surgical institute of Huntington Beach (the skinny capital of the universe) to this office in Beverly Hills that works out of the hospital. So I do not even know my doctor. I have never meet anyone from the office I am having my surgery out of. HAHAH I do hear that there are a few people ahead of me that day....Maybe I'll run in to someone from this site....C'MON! anywho....I cant wait to lose the weight. I plan on putting in a lot of work so that next may I can start tanning my stomach too....since it hardly see's the light of day anymore.....=) wish me luck.B):D:P

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
