One of the best things that I ever did for myself



Recommended Posts

Best ting I ever did!

I'm so happy that I made the decision almost 1 year ago to start the journey to get the Lap-Band. I have lost 60.5 lbs since my surgery on April 6th (4 months yesterday). I feel great! When I was on WW it took me almost a year and a half to lose 65 lbs.

I was nervous too but I have to say it was so much better than I could have imagined. I went in at 6, surgery was at 7 or so and I was on my way home at 12. I had hardly any pain. It almost was as if I didn't have anything done. I know that everyone is different but that was my experience. Good luck to you! Just remember to do everything that they tell you to do. That will be to your benefit.

Same here.....best decision I've made for myself. Only 2 weeks post op....lost 14 lbs and feel teriffic. Surgery not bad at all....I was expecting much worse. Little pain but very tolerable. Hope things continue to go smoothly. CAT

I agree. I am so glad I had the surgery. I am now down to 215! The best part is, my menstrual cycle returned. I haven't had it since I was tweleve. I thought it would return when I got under 200! Wow it is a unexplainable feeling to have the knowledge I can now reproduce. It made me cry (of course it could have been the hormones too LOL)

      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
