Hi! I had my surgery 4/12/12. I've poked around Lapbandtalk for a while, but I just joined the group. I had my first fill last week and would love to hear how everyone is doing now that we are 2-4 months out.

Everything has been going pretty good here. Found a local support group, started tracking my meals on myfitnesspal.com, and joined a local gym where I love doing group exercise! I've lost 33 pounds so far and the road hasn't been perfect, but I am so glad I did this! :)

Welcome to the group New! Sounds like your doing great. Keep up the good work! You'll find lots of support in this group. However, things have been a bit quiet lately. I'm sure many are busy with summer vacations and so on, but it's a great group for support.

Great job on those 33 lbs. That's awesome.

Hi the new ME! what a cool name. welcome to our group. Great job on the weight loss and even greater job on joining an exercise group. The exercise part of this is something i gotta get into. I have been playing around in the pool on my last few days off with my child and trying to put in extra moves and playing beach ball volley ball to get movement and some exercise in.

      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.
