Monday I will be getting my band. I haven't told any of my family, the only person that knows is my husband. I am getting super nervous now! I know I can do this. I just ask everyone to say a little prayer for me since my family that usually prays for me will not be praying for this event since they have no idea! THANKS EVERYONE!!

Good luck!! Surgery will go fine!! Just remember to sip your Water, use Gas X, and walk when you can. Most importantly, rest! You'll be in my thoughts for a speedy recovery :)

This is my personal journey and did not want to deal with ANY negativity or judgement. Sending only good positive thoughts your way on Monday!!! Keep us posted when you can.

Yep you too will do fine. It really is not that big of a deal,, I know that it is a big change, but it's easy for them. So try to relax. Let me know when your back.

Well I am offically banded now. Everything went well. I am not in too much pain. I would say the only thing that hurts is where my port is located. The Dr said they have to do a little more prying in that area to get it in place and its a larger incision in that area. I would say the worst part is trying to get that nasty barium down for your xray...blah. Thank goodness I havent had much gas pain and I have yet to be hungry. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers that were sent my way! Good luck to all of you that have upcoming surgery dates.

      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.
