I had my lapband done in November. I have lost 50 lbs but most of the loss was the initial post op diet they put me on. I have gone for a fil pretty much every month and think I still am not where I need to be with feeling full. Other then that, I am glad I did it. I live in Putnam County, I dont know how far "Upstate" you are, but I can be a buddy and answer questions if you hav any andjust be supportive ! It gets easier !

OH forgot BIG tip , buy milk powder and add it to the Protein Shakes, yougurt, baby, food, anywhere you can to add Protein. The best is get wonton Soup from chinese take out without the wonton ( they will give you a quart for like $1.25) and then add milk powder, it makes it creamy and protein boosted.

Hi Janet, yes I have gone in for a few fills. But during my pregnancy the baby was so big I think it caused my port to tilt. So I dread getting fills because they have a hard time getting to my port. I gained 40 lbs & really need to get off my but & get it together. I made an appointment for the morning to speak to Jody and get some motivation.

      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.

      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.
