Hope some August 2008 banders give an update on how things have been going for them. I lost about 23 lbs before surgery and about 11 lbs after surgery. At one point after surgery I lost about 25 lbs but gained some back. My weight loss has not been as great as I hoped but I have not been putting a hundred percent into being careful with what I eat and exercise. I do not regret getting the band and I feel much more in control of my weight then before the band (gaining weight out of control). Without the band I know I would weigh a lot more. I have noticed that my relationship with food mirrors my personal relationships....when they go bad my eating gets bad. At one point in a new relationship I lost the most weight...but when it started to not be healthy I started gaining weight, I then got a fill and my adorable dr. Said he didn't think it was the band he thought something else was going on . I didn't see it at the time...and made him give me a 1/2 c fill. For 2 years I suffered with heart burn from the fill and heart ache from a bad relationship. Well the 3 months ago my fiancé and I decided this was not going to work and he said he was moving out. I began losing weight but still had horrible heartburn so I decided to 1/2 cc's removed. I know I won't gain weight because my head is in a better place and I am more in control of my life path. Sending all my bander friends lots of love! Annabell <3

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
