Hello from Missouri

This is just the post I was looking for! I am going through this journey as I have completed all the testing and finishing out my 6 month WW plan. My BMI is a whopping 42, I have pre-hypertension and knee aches every time I climb or go down stairs due to my weight. I informed my husband, closest friends to help support me through this process. My immediate family does not support but I am not around them much luckily. I am extremely fearful as I have never had any procedures done but I am so ready to get this process started. I will definitely be needing support and would love to support others out there

Hello everyone! I am interested in getting to know some new friends who are just starting out on this journey of being banded. Who else out there needs some support of someone else going through the same thing that they are? Let's do this together!

Hi there, my surgery is Dec 1st, and I'm just a little nervous...YIKES, but I'm so done with this lifestyle. I just joined this forum today. I am not telling a lot of people about my surgery and I just moved from one side of Canada to the other so I know no one in which to confide my fears and excitement about my re invention of myself.

This is proving to be a wonderful place to find others going through my exact same emotions, I do not feel so alone reading of others experiences. There are also some truly inspiring role models out there :D

Hey there! I'm just staring my journey as well. I attended the seminar on Sept 10 and had my first consult Oct 12. I'm going through a 6 month medically supervised diet, my next appointment being Nov 15. I'd love to have and BE a support person!

      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. 🤞
