Anyone Getting Banded In July?



Recommended Posts

If I don't get banded by the end of June it will be early July! I'm excited, and scared! I envy those that get to do the 2 weeks Adkins diet, I have to do 2 weeks of ONLY protine shakes (3-5 a day). Anyone else have to do that? It seems so

Impossible! :)

that was what I was most scared of I just finished my appt with my nutritionist and I have to have 3 shakes and one low fat low carb high Protein meal a day. I know I have to do it after surgery to allow time for my stomach to heal so keep me posted on how you are doing

Good luck and we can do this

I'm scheduled for July 9th OMG so ready to get on this journey praying for everyone and YES we can all do this. How many have started to cut back before the pre-op diet.

I'm July 9th too! I am going to start a pre-op diet next week to help me get use to less food before my liquid diet starting July 2nd. Good luck!

I'm most happy I do not have to do a pre-op diet however I had to lose 10% before I qualified for surgery and must maintain that weight loss...two weeks prior to surgery I get weighed again. I got approved on April 9 and my surgery date is July 5 so I've had to maintain that loss almost 3 months....hasn't been easy mostly due to rigid diet and hungry alot.

That sounds harder then what I have to do! 2 weeks of only shakes and crystal lite.

I think the best part is that I learned to eat alot healthier and learned alot more about Portion Control but at times I've wanted to give up...but I haven't so hooray for me!

I just pushed my surgery date back to July 30th! We had the opportunity to do it when my hubby was home so pushing it back is totally worth it :) Where are you having yours done?

      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.
