I just had my two week appt on the first. What doctor do you expect to get? Also what surgery are you wanting? The bypass makes me very nervous.

Hi everyone I was banded 6/9/14 with Dr. Domingoez in Covington La. I just had my 2nd fill on yesterday 8/5 and I am 35 lbs down. I love my lapband and I am going to increase my workout starting today. Wish everyone the best of luck.

Hopefully they get the agenda date soon. I am just anxious to hear something. Have you kept off the liquid diet weight? I have been eating so bad so I know I have gained weight but don't want to get on the scale.< /p>

I was told they only meet once a month to review the files...... But, I will tell you this. Once that board meets, and you get the approval.....it's a VERY FAST process. I met my surgeon on a Thursday, and I had surgery the following Thursday. Coming up on a year for me........ AUGUST 22.

I've gained 2 of my fourteen pounds back. Since the shakes my food intake has not been the same.

I am ready too. I am hoping I get the sleeve. If they call and say bypass I am going to be even more nervous than I already am. It has to be soon because you got off your liquid diet a month ago. I have to say it is nice to have someone waiting with me.

      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.
