I'm a July 2009 Bandster. I've done well and am now in a size 10 (my goal size). I am going to set up a fill appointment because the last 2 weeks I've been getting way too hungry shortly after I eat. It wouldn't be a bad idea to check in with my surgeon's office anyway because I have not been there in 10 months or so. I lost the first 100 pounds in 1 year and have been coasting since. Life is good.

that is amazing!! Congrats! I definately slacked on my exercise the first year so it came off slower...but i see such a difference now and it's coming off so easily now...i'm loving it :)

Not doing so well.....I have lost 70 lbs so far but hoped I would have lost 100+ by know. I blame no one but myself. I slacked off on my exercise and started eating things I shouldn't have. I plan to get on track this month and get me a personal trainer. I recently had a fill and it really gives me the restriction I need. I have lost 6 lbs since my fill on 3/25 so far.

Lovelyaskanbe, 70 is fantastic! I used to think the same way, but believe me when I tell you that when you start thinking differently you will FEEL so much better!

I'm down 70 too and for awhile u was very down on myself.i also did not exercise afdc close to how I should have.....

but think of it this way...until your surgery, when was the last time you were able to lose a big amount of weight and KEEP IT OFF? also, we're so much healthier now!

i've actually had 2 unfills now...the first one nkot by choice and the second one BY CHOICE.....i know my body and my band beyer than ever...

I hope that with this new fill you get added success!

      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.
