Halloechen Sigrid- schoen das du zu uns gefunden hast - wo in Deutschland bist du denn?

Hi Sigrid - nice that you found our forum- from where in germany are you?

Are you also on the german magenband forum?

Where in germany did you get your band?

Did you insurance pay for it or did they make you jump through hoops as so many tell on the german forum?

Ich werde mein magenband am Dienstag bekommen und bin im moment in der "Nur fluessiges" phase.

Hope to hear more from you - Willkommen! :clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Welcome to LBT! It's so great to talk to people all over the world. I am also impressed by the command of the German language I am seeing here. Sorry, I can't participate in German, but it's fun to read!

Good luck in your Banded journey!

Cindy

Guten Tag, und Welkommen;

I lived in Weisbaden for five years, 1992 - 1997. I would love to go back to visit. Enjoy your new journey into lapband land.

I spent 5 years in Mainz, Germany and speak the German language...Haag Deutch to be exact, which is spoken in and around Bavaria. I loved Germany while I was there. My Dad was born and raised there, and I look forward to going back there within the next yr. to visit. There are a couple of different lap bands here and there is of course gastric bypass. Hope you have good luck with your band and keep in touch with us.

        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
