Hello, My name is Rosemarie. You may call me Rose if you like. I am just about to go for my pre op visit and get a date for my Realize Lap Band. I live in PA., and will have my surgery will be done by Dr. James Ku at Reading Hospital. I am getting a little scared which I am sure is normal. Not so much for the surgery as I have had surgeries before but for the life change that this will be. I thought it would be great to have people who have had it done and/or who are pre op so we can go through this together. This is why I am here. I just turned 52 years old and weigh about 321 lbs with enough chronic illnesses and food addiction that I just had to do this after many times of trying to lose on my own. Ru N Y and the Sleeve seemed way to drastic and scarey. So I want to try this. So, here I am saying Hi! I hope to hear from some of you.

Thank You .

Hugs,

Rose

Hi

My name is Theresa and I am also 52 so It's nice to talk to someone the same age as me, finding people are younger than me. I am going thru the process right now and I am hoping to get banded the first week of June. I am having it done at Duke, I live in NC now but from NY. Glad to do this together.

Theresa

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

        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.

      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
