Recommended Posts

ok, for those of you out there who have already accomplished your goal (or close to it) here is a link of a place I went to about 8 years ago.

After getting my band and getting close to my goal weight, I am going back http://www.suddenlyslender.com/

I had a HUGE deep scar on my left forearm from changing a lawnmower blade (ugh the days of being single!) and after 3 sessions, it almost disappeared.

I lost 17" the first wrap then 32" more overall after that. Im not sure what they charge anymore, but I got a package deal.

My friend that went with me lost 60+" during our time there. Of course if you are not banded, then you gain weight back you gain all the inches back too :confused:

Wow. You are my hero. I will be satisfied if I am half as successful as you are. What an amazing story. Hey, you could probably sell your story to a magazine and make enough to pay for your surgery.

I would definately do the pictures and submit them to insurance with all the complications that come along with having all the extra skin. I had a cousin that had breast surgery and the Ins. picked up the tab. On one side she was a D cup and on the other a B and ...she got a reduction in one and an implant in the other so now she is a C on both sides. He doctor not only submitted pictures but also had her talk to a Psych about the depression it was causing her......she said it was had to have confidence to try and even date because her breasts looked so different from each other and the Ins. paid. So resubmitt and tell them all that you are feeling. I sure hope they cover this for you. You are so beautiful and so deserving of this.

        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.

      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
