Hi everyone

My name is Ashley and my sugery date is June 4th, I'd love to be able to have a mentor in the Long Island area or even in one of the five boroughs. I will be having the band with the gastric plication. Please if someone could respond back that would be wonderful. Thanks and good luck to all!!

If you're looking for a local mentor, you could try posting this question in the NY group: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/forum/46-new-york-local-lap-band-support/

You also might be able to find a local mentor at your surgeon's support group meetings.

Good luck with your surgery!

Thanks. I looked in the NY threads but haven't really found anything. Have you had surgery done?

You may have to post your own thread in the NY group.

Yes, I've had Lap-Band surgery. I was banded in September 2007 and lost 100% of my excess weight. But I'm located in Tennessee, not NY!

      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.
