That is because you are still in the adjustment stage, I was banded in October and still needing an occational adjustment. Give yourself time! Please do not be discouraged. It is a slow process and your time is coming.

thanks for your words of encouragement, b/c I'm sooooooooooo discouraged. I sit here day after day reading all the success stories and I'm happy for each and every one of them, but then i look in the mirror and ask why can't I have that success? I go for my 2nd fill on 2/15, I hope I can get some restriction.

Germaine....boy is this a slow process but hell we didn't gain the weight overnight and we won't lose it that way. Be patient it will come, some weeks/months better than others. If you fall off the bandwagon jump right back on the next day...Your new you is coming girl :) STAY STRONG and Kat09 good for you :)...I was banded Sept 14th and started at 320 and am now down to 257....I have good days and bad, I stay off the scales everyday now and only do once a week...I am geting my third fill next week, i now have 6.8cc's in a 10cc band and feel alittle more will take me to that "zone"....Congrats All :)

      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.

      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.
