I feel your pain! I was banded 7/27 and have lost 20 lbs. Have not lost an OUNCE since my 2 week post op. I have had 2 fills and still nothing. I am very frustrated.

i did have a reassuring meeting with someone last week. While waiting on my 2nd fill, I was chatting with a woman in the waiting room. She was banded in 2006 and only lost 20 lbs her entire 1st year. Her second year the weight started melting off and now she has lost 180 lbs! So, everyone is different. I have to hold on to that thought. Hang in there!!!

Total Loss 48.....

I feel so good about this choice I made for my health.

I am doing much better today since surgery. I had a battle with the gas villian and he won first round. As a matter of fact it was a TKO :( . I got up and refused to be a victim/quitter again. I started to walk and I walked until i was sweating and bit tired. Then I walked some more and guess what I knock out the gas villian this time.:lol:

I was also banded 7/13/11 and i am down 17 lbs! Its unbelieveable!! :D

I can't wait to start on mushies 7/27/11. I love eggs...lol

Overall I have been satisfied with the lap band and have had few problems. Yesterday I had a bad vomiting episode and today it is hard to keep food down without major slime. I've had three fills and the last one was a few weeks ago. Any thoughts?

      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.
