Wheres My June Bandsters??



Recommended Posts

Off Topic - I keep trying to change my weight ticker and will not update? Anyone else have that problem? I even deleted and rekeyed it and it still is the same as it was before.

Also - does anyone know how to change the surgery information? I can't figure it out.

Thanks' date='[/quote']

Yes I have the same issue

Well this is it. Surgery day tomorrow. I have so many feelings swirling around. Scared. Excited. Nervous. Anxious. Optomistic. Can't wait for this journey to begin:)

Me and you both 16th is our day

I'm being banded tomorrow! I can't believe I've made it this far. I'm excited' date=' nervous about the surgery, but totally ready for some time off work. ;P

I'm just glad I have the opportunity to make such an important change in my life. I wish nothing but the best for the other bandsters who are going through the surgery tomorrow, and all the others who are having their surgery soon as well! :D[/quote']

Thanks for the thanks, everybody! It was driving me nuts NOT having an organized list. I hate searching through threads and posts for one thing. So, page 16 for reference. I updated the list and the numbers. It was late at night when I made it so I must have counted wrong. We are at 86 people banded and scheduled for June. WOW!

Lots of peeps being banded today. BEST of LUCK! Let us know how you're feeling.

I'm scheduled for the 18th and am freaking out that surgery day is almost here. But, I know that it's time to get healthier and enjoy life more It's been a really hard couple of weeks on the liquid diet, but the end is in sight. Best wishes to all of you having surgery in June. It's great that we have this forum to meet others who are going through this change. It makes me feel less alone in the process. ðŠ

I'm the 18th as well. Just the weekend left and I've got lots of plans to keep me busy so Monday will get here really quick. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Good luck to all of the rest of the June bandsters being banded in the upcoming weeks!

Oh man! It's currently 5:50pm here in Texas, and I've been home since around 3:00. My surgery went A-ok! I'm going to post more about my experience on my blog later tonight.

Right now, I'm feeling super exhausted. I haven't been awake much since I came out of OR. For this being my first surgery ever, it went really well. I have a TON of gas pain, though, and more pain around my port than anywhere else. I have meds for the pain, but they don't work too much on the gas. I just have to walk that off!

I'm not really nauseous, just really sleepy. I can SIP Water relatively well. I feel like I should be sipping more than I am, though. The only major discomfort is this gas pain. The nurse at the hospital told me GasX won't help. Has anyone else had any luck with it?

Congrats to all the ladies and/or gentlemen who were banded today! Yay, we did it!!!!

Glad you're doing well. See, I had the same thought about the Gas X. It's not THAT kind of gas. Let us know how your days progress.

Has anyone else been hungry on day 1? My tummy is grumbling, and I think I'm gonna try and sip some chicken broth.

And boy, this gas pain is killing me. I've been walking every few hours, so I hope I can relieve some.

        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
