Hi, from California, I thought I would join this site for extra support! I get surgery on April 4th and am excited but nervous. It seems that in the past week I am hearing more bad stories or negative rather than positive.

Don't worry, I got banded 13 days ago and everything has been fine. I have had no negative experiences since my procedure.

      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.
