Hi Judy- My daughter is 3..I may have said 4 by mistake and yes she is why I had my c-section which I keep telling myself was a much bigger surgery than this. And yes time does fly...It seems like she was only just born yesterday or only that little 2 year old in my picture...tonight she gave me so many kisses....made me almost cry...she is so sweet. My nervousness is still there but less somehow and I just want it over and look forward to the new me. I survived the clear liquid diet today so that just makes me feel even more empowered in this journey!

I am sure your husband is just stressed with you and for you so I am sure he will be more supportive as time goes by and it not...that talk is a good idea. And I think it is hard for anyone to understand completely especially about your eating habits etc if they are not in your shoes. But I am sure he just wants what is best for both of you. And I feel the same way about not being able to do it without the band..I have tried so much...My husband said well if you can do the pre-op diet...can't you just keep doing that? I said no way...I can do it because there is an end to it and good things are coming..If I could just "do it", I already would have!

I'm off to try to get some sleep as I have to get up so early. Thanks for the thought and prayers.

i know that its getting close for you now... all the best. look forward to hearing from you on the banded side. take care.

I'm getting banded on Monday also! :) I have been laying in bed scared to death about what's going to happen. Im traveling out to get it done, i think the hardest part is leaving my dsughter for three days :'(

Hi all and thanks again for the support. I am officially banded and was soooo nervous but everything went great. I arrived at hospital @ 530 am and went into surgery about 8....we were able to leave hospital by 11 am so I was home before lunch time. Yesterday I hurt pretty badly and today I am more sore but its all worth it. I feel good enough today to go watch my daughter because it is her parent observation week in her dance class...that's pretty good to me...I can wait to get fully recovered and moving forth n my new life!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
