11 Days To Surgery



Recommended Posts

Hello all. I am a 34 and morbidly obese. I am 226 lbs right now. I am in my pre- op diet phase. My Lapband surgery is on Februaru 17. I am so ready for this tool to be placed in me for my future health and success. I have wanted this surgery for about 7 years now, and now that it almost time for my surgery I can hardly stand the anticipation. I am ready for all of the steps of the journey. I am sure I will have good and bad days, but I am sure that there will be more good than bad. Good luck to all of you, and God bless.

Congratulations! Welcome to Bandster land and a healthier life. I was banded 12/29 and like you couldn't wait for my day to arrive. I was never nervous, apprehesive or scared. Just so excited and ready to do this! I had to have 3-6 months supervised weight loss 42# and 20 since surgery. I feel so much better physically, mentally and emotionally and so will you. Good luck and we're here for you.

      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. 🤞
