I have a 3:00 apt. to meet my new surgeon, and his staff. Also I am suppose to get a slight fill. "I hope so, I'm getting hungrier more often." So it's time for a fill.

I will also find out if he wants to make himself some money by changing this 4cc band to a newer model. I'll see what he has to say. But this one has good restriction. So I am not really interested.

I am interested in seeing if his Teacher in WLS (MY OLD SURGEON) gets brought up in conversation.

Ill be back later, Shirley.

It's an older version band that is no longer used for various reasons.

Yep it's a oldie but a goodie.

He was glad to take me on as a patient. I lost 2lbs since last Thursday. So Boop oop a Doop ! I am doing just fine. I am wright on track 1 - 2lbs a week is fine by me. So I am dieting with a window between 800 - 1200 Cal. a day, and 60 - 70G of Protein a day. That is working for me.

I got a small fill So I have 2.75cc in a 4cc Band.

I feel good restriction also

Yes he was telling me what a pain in the A*s he was to work for,

Excellent Chief of Bariatrics Surgeon. But a bad Attitude if something

doesn't go his way. We laughed about that.

I go back in 4 weeks. I guess he wants to see how i'm doing as a patient. As far as weight Loss.

That turtle is slowly moving.

Any idea what these various reasons might be?

Not sure, from what I've read a lot of those fitted with the 4cc band haven't been able to find the right restriction, erosion, slips, etc.

O.K Thanks. I just want to know because mine will be 5 yrs. old this year, and it is in great shape. I hope it stays that way.

      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
