Banded yesterday!



Recommended Posts

I I was a total nervous wreck,but it went so well. My biggest fear was being put to sleep and as it turns out that ended up being my favorite part! I showered this morning and am ready to move around today. I basically slept yesterday away. My husband has been so great,he set an alarm to go off every four hours to give me my meds and make sure I got out of bed safely to go to the bathroom,etc. So far im sore today but im feeling great!! I cant wait to get this part over and move on to getting fills and losing weight!

Thanks everyone! Got my first fill today,a little behind on that but I live two hours away from my fill Dr so its tough to get a appt that fits my schedule. Anyhow. I almost passed out I was so scared. I felt like an idiot,it hurt yeah,but it was like getting a shot and then it was over Haha. It wasn't a bad pain just a weird pain.

      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.
