way to go !! i was just banded on tues dec 13th. so far this has been a breeze !im so lucky that i havent had any complications yet. other than a little gas the day i had surgery, and a little soreness on my left side, ive been ok. i rested alot over the last few days, walked around the house , and felt well enough to do a bit of shopping today. i go back to work on monday. hopefully things will go smoothly for you too!

the office informed to start dieting earlier in the week before my approval came in. the diet was so hard in the beginning! but then when I found out I was actually approved I was like this is a breeze! it could of been that or the fact that it was

my third day and everyone says it gets easier after the third day. lol :)

I have been on this site for since September when I first went to my initial consultation. and Friday was the first day I decided to join in! I'm so excited and hope everything goes well for u!

(sorry if I have typos...doing this on my iPhone and it autocorrect craps) lol

btw the only thing I crave and miss is dr pepper! :(

Well I had a bad headache last night but I got through it. This is going to be interesting as I have to be on the diet for Chistmas parties, a baby shower and Christmas day, but so far I've survived 2 parties w/out cheating. As my mom said "no pain, no loss" lol.

      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.
