I have another question. Does everyone have the weird feeling right in the middle of their stomach and sometimes it's hard to take a deep breath? I'm assuming it's where the band is but not sure. Just want to make sure everyone has this issue and will it go away?

March 22nd surgery date...Day two of my pre-op diet.

good luck everyone with their pre op diet. fortunately i dont have to worry about one. im going to take barley green and ACA powder to build up my immune system etc etc. started already on the barley green. about to do the ACA powder today as well.

i will be cutting right back on my meals as well... the day before surgery i will just have Soups. thats my pre op plan, not my drs. he doesnt require a plan he says.

Well only 2 more day before I am banded. The doctor I have does not require a pre-op diet. Just a clear liquid diet the day before surgery. I have been on this journey since August of last year, jumping through all kinds of hoops for the insurance.

Monday morning can't come soon enough for me to start my new journey. Good luck to all March Banders.

LisaNj , Yvonne, Dee, I got banded today!

I've already vomitted the chicken broth I had ... No bueno. Now I'm having the worst tightness in my chest . Its annoyIng to breathe and talk. I'm making some little tiny burps but no big relief there.

My incision bandages are pretty small so I'm guess the scars may be small too (fingers crossed). How are you guys doing??

      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.
