I Love My Band !!!!



Recommended Posts

I love my band. I am so happy to have it.

When I had my surgery on November 17, I weighed 244. I went

in for my 2 month post-op visit and I was down 30 lbs.

My first fill was this past Wednesday the 11th and I was scared!!!!!

The nurse wasn't very nice, she was mean and asked my why I felt

I needed a fill. I told her that I had my surgery 8 weeks ago and it was time.

AND I had paid cash for my surgery and the price included fills for the first year. I had paid for the fill and it was time.

Since I had my fill. I have lost 7 pounds. I cant say enough about this

surgery, my doctor and the joy that I have that I am almost under 200, my towel wraps all the way around me when I get out of the shower, my legs dont rub together anymore. I have so many things that I have noticed since I

began this journey, I could not name them all.

It's so amazing, its hard not to gush at strangers on the street. I see poor overweight women lumbering through the shopping centre and I want to grab them and say "I know how to fix this". Mind you I've only lost 9kg so far, lol.

My girlfriend is very obese, and I'm waiting for her to start asking questions. She's not, I dont think she's interested and I dont think she's all that impressed by the lifestyle changes. But I want to corner her and say "you really should do this".

Of course, I shut up about it. It has to be people's own decisions. But it's just so freaking amazing.

I've found the weight loss and the lifestyle changes that have resulted in it, simply effortless. It's happened automatically. I do not miss a single thing about my "old" life.

I'm glad you're having just as great an experience.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
