I am doing well so far. I went to the surgeon on Wednesday and it was supposed to be for a fill, but he thinks I am doing well, so no fill for me yet! I will be glad when I get back to work so I can put myself on a schedule. I just started some resistance training today, so hopefully I can keep up with that.

How are you doing with it?

I am doin alright I guess...Still a bit sore arund the port area, but healing up very well. Dr. Adam Goldstein was my surgeon at voorhees. And I recommend him to anyone! Great doctor, he is great at what he does, period! I am in cumberland county new jersey do I am not far at all from exit 1...lol Matter of fact I migh head that way this weekend to walk the boards. I was lucky to have lost about 55 lbs by seeing a nutritionist 6 months prior to surgery. Since surgery on monday I think I have lost a couple lbs. Good luck to everyone and stay in touch!

Yes I have been doing well, I have about 9 more lbs to go to be at goal weight but seem to be a a plateau right now but I am not complaining am so happy to have accomplished what I have so far. So it seems that all you guys are newly banded, Wow shakey88 40lbs in 30 days that is awesome. I am lucky to see 1lb come off now in months but hey what can you do. I don't always eat the best but I do exercise pretty good.

Thanks...I am actually surprised myself beings I have no Fluid in my band at all. I think it is just the change in my eating that has gotten me this far without fluid. My next appt isnt for another 3 weeks, so maybe I will get fluid then if I stop losing! Congrats on your weightloss!!! That's awesome!

      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. 🤞
