Two Years Today Yay!!!!



Recommended Posts

It is exactly two years i've been banded. I look back at how I struggled to get to where I am today.long road but i'm happy where i am at today. I still plan to lose about 20 more pounds but i'm in no hurry. I love my band best thing i ever done having to do with weightloss. It doesn't seem like two years have went by. so how r some of my november 2009 bandsters doin?

Congrats on your journey! I hit my own 2 year mark on Oct 30. It is a wonderful feeling that you did such a good thing for yourself! I am at goal, and never made goal in any of my weight loss ventures, before! Good luck for the future. Karen

Doing great...!!!! Banded Nov. 10th and my two year mark as come and gone. Still stuck at 80lbs. But that's ok. Thats 80lbs i could have never lost and kept off with out my band. I started at 223lbs and now at 143ish.... Love being able to wear a shirt that just has a L on it and not xxL... and single digit paints..... 6-8 and not a 18-20...

For the most part i have been a "slow loser". I would really love to lose another 10lbs or so, but my husband says...."you need to stop, your looking too thin"... REALLY.... TO THIN. NO SUCH THING i tell him. I have not had a fill since my one year visit. Sometimes i feel like i really need a fill and somedays.. not. So i have an appt for the 28th for a check up and i will talk to my dr. about it. I have adjusted well to the do's and don'ts of my band and the changes are things i can defiantly do for the rest of my life.

I have done really well with the only having extra skin in the stomach area... but i have an appointment for Jan. 13 for a PS consult for a TT. I can't wait. After 2 c-sections, gallbladder, hysterectomy and the LB... my stomach looks like a road map... Flat stomach here i come. Would really love a Breast lift too... will talk to him at the appt about that too.

Have either of you thought about PS? Have you had any problems?

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
