yes, i regret it! Almost 5 years out and lost only half of goal! Following diet to a T, but constant puking, choking and Bowel obstruction is just not worth it! Have had the saline totally removed and still choking and puking daily......not gaining weight.....and i cant have it reoved due to insurance wont do it! Also, the flabbt skin is disgusting and no amt of exercise helps! Ruined my intimate life...liked my body better bedore....ugh!

i have absolutely no regrets what so ever about the band other than i wish i would have gotten it sooner. This is my personal opinion but I think if you dont like your band then its either A - your body has rejected it and it is out of your control which I would understand, or B- you are not using it in the correct way which is giving you negative results. If you have the band and you dont like it then you really should sit down and take a look at the reasons you dont like it. It doesnt do all the work for you, YOU have to work also and if you are not willing to do the work that is required to make it successful then that is NOT the bands fault it is simply yours. sorry to sound so stearn but it is the truth. if you have the band and you dont like it, I would suggest you get a book about it, "BANDWAGON" by jean mcmillen is an excellent book written by a long term bandster that doesnt sugar coat anything. her book has been the best motivation for me and the best informational thing I have read about living successfully with the band. good luck to you and your journey

I follow the diet to a T, as it is habit now.......its nothing i am doing wrong......and my Dr agrees.....my body just rejects the foreign object! I follow a strict 1200 calorie a day diet with no red meat, no sugars or white flours, no carbs.....and now have to live with the constant reflux, vomiting, and sliming...which by the way, can cause esophagal cancer! and i have no Fluid in my band.....not gaining, but no loss either......sorry, but it isnt for everybody.....

      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.
