lost 130 and am down 9 pants sizes! I love my band but will always struggle to eat right. By that I mean stay away from the sweets. I know what is good for me and what makes me feel best, but it can be tempting. I go to the gym 4 times a week now that I have hit goal and will continue to stay active. Clothes shopping is getting a little easier, it can be hard when you were obese for years and do not know where to shop or what to buy. But I have gotten to know my knew body and it is getting better. I had double hernia surgery in November and spent 5 days in the hospital, my recovery was pretty fast and I did not gain any weight during my down time! I get stuck on occasion and is it usually caused by not chewing enough and is purely my fault. My band does tighten up right before my tom but that's ok, it is just reminding me it is still there. I hope everyone else is doing well and had great weight loss and ncv with their bands.

I'm doing good..I think..have just settled in to knowing my band. Down almost 70lbs and that is after a restart from my ob cutting my tubing during my hysterectomy.just now feeling like I know my band and can go forward from here.I have 50 more pounds that I want to loose, but I will be happy with 40, that will put me at 186.

I have found that many people are asking me now when will I stop that I'm getting too skinny :-D..i am far from skinny!

I do need to do more exercise and use the various apps that I have downloaded to my phone and do things on the run..

      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.
