So I haven't lost a lot of weight, but with my food choices and exercise I am finally off ALLLLL of my meds! No more, diabetes meds...no more blood pressure meds...no more cholesterol meds! To me that is so exciting!!! I remember a little over a year ago being prescribed them and freaked out because my blood work was so bad. The Dr has now officially said continue with my weight loss and exercise regime and we will continue to monitor every three months, but NO MORE MEDS!!! So basically my message to everyone is keep on trying no matter how slow the weight loss or no matter the amount of weight loss it DOES HELP! :D

That is great and that is my goal. Right now I've cut them by more than half, but I can't wait for the day they are gone. They make me feel so old!

Just got banded 4 days ago and this is very exciting to hear because I also am on all those meds. I can't wait to get off of them, my blood work last week all my numbers were fantastic. I think this was also due to the pre-op diet. Thanks for the info. Good Luck.

Great job - i too have gone off of some of my meds, and the rest have been dramatically reduced. You have lost almost 70 pounds - that is like losing an 8 year old, that is a ton of weight to lose. Great job! Keep up the good work and congratulations!!

        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
