I see Dr. Hamilton, trying to get the band removed by May 31st. Good luck on your surgery. I am assuming you are being banded?

Why are you wanting to have it removed? How were your results?

Dr. Hamilton did an endoscopy two weeks ago and the band had slipped. He told me it had to come out. Let me assure you, you are going to a good clinic. I wish I would have gone there first, rather than the one I went to that did my band. Never once did that clinic ever check it under fluoroscope, had they, I might not have to have it out. I'm one of those patients that "never" had a problem. Had I not switched clinics and Dr. Hamilton not checked it, down the road I would be fighting for my life because this condition could have led to an infection, and at my age it could be dangerous. Just waiting on a date now for removal, but would like it before May 31st as I wouldn't have to meet a deductible as my insurance runs from June 1 to May 31, then we start a new year.

Mine was done at the Weight Loss Surgical Center with Dr. Niazy Selim. Get my fills at KU where he does his surgeries now. He is the head of bariatrics at KU.

      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. 🤞
