i wanted to take a moment and say thanks to everyone on here. you guys/gals are so kind and helpful to me and i am very blessed to have found this website/forum. there is another forum and the nasty posts and negative thoughts about banding is unreal. ms j told me to stay off of there and she is/was right.

being nervous when i started here in feb, everyone made me and other new pre banders welcome.

great advice and support and experiences is incredible.

wanted to thank everyone on here. have a great and wonderful rest of the weekend holiday.

This is the best site ever and the people are great!! It's great to hear the ups and the downs of people experiences and then received help. I lift each and everyone of you up in prayer every night. Ones that are on my friends list I call you by name. I know that if it wasnt for God we wouldnt be here.....he lead us to lapband and this form.....and i thank him daily for that.

Y'all have a bless day

OK, so I had to peek. Wow, I'm so jealous, I was banded two weeks after you and look how well you've done.

I may be stepping out of turn here but where the hell did your butt go? It's like you just shaved it off.

      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.
