Yah!!! Happy to hear all went well!! I hope today wasn't too bad with the tightness and gas. When you have time and feel well, check in. I am rooting for you and am right behind you! Happy New year neighbor :)

Tightness and gas doing much better today!!! Only experiencing soreness anytime abs are used (burping, laughing, coughing, leaning, car bumps.) The other thing I'm noticing is a minor pinch of pain on my stomach every here and there. I'm not sure what it is or why it's doing that. My dad says it's healing but I notice it especially while sitting upright. It's kinda like a hunger pang.... But more painful. Very quick. Then goes away. Warm things soothe it.... Just haven't heard anyone mention experiencing this...Been taking gas x.. Walking fine... Any ideas?

I am having lapband surgery Wednesday. I'm nervous and excited and tired of these Protein Shakes. I'm actually looking forward to the day prior to surgery so I can heat up my broth. Ha

I felt the same way!!! broth and Jello actually sounded good from the preop stage. Right now I am able to eat broth, jello, cream Soups, pudding and custard, cream of wheat, milk (all fat free and sugar free of course.... And low cal) but it feels good to have choices. I can see where this one will get boring as well... But I can only eat 1/2 cup of most thingsright now anyway... :)

      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.
