I went in for my fourth and hopefully final fill. I think this one is it. I have already lost 2 lbs since the fill on Yesterday. I know it is because I am on liquids. I am now at about 44 lbs gone. I love this band. I am glad everyone is doing great!

I for some reason am not doing well. I just had another fill and am filled up to 6cc in my 10 cc band.

I have lost about 30 pounds. I am really upset about it. I have been eating about 1000 calories and am exercising now. ao I hope this will kick it into gear..

Other wise i am going to crawl under a boulder. Not a rock I woul not fit.

I was banded on August 23rd. I have so fave lost 36 pounds, but I've only just had a fill giving me restriction, so I'm looking forward to some serious weight loss over the next few weeks. :)

Hi, I was banded on August 5th and have lost 22 kg. I've been at a bit of a stand still weight wise for the last 6 weeks, so, as of today, am committing to walking every day. I've had 4 fills and now have about 5ml in a 10 ml band. My short term goal is to get to 90 kg by May (that's 8 kg - not impossible) and then I'm going for a visit home, to surprise my family and hubby's, most of whom do not know I have done this.

Thanks, yes I went through a difficult time in the beginning. Now I am totally opposite, I hate to eat and have to FORCE myself to do it. LOL

      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.

      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.
