I am starting to get nervous about my upcoming banding. I start my Pre opp diet next friday. It will two weeks of Opti fast then have surgery on July 6. I am thinking if I am doing the right thing. Deep down I know I am and my hubby is being very supportive and only want me to be happy and healhy. Any one else get nervous a couple of weeks out.

Many people have posted they are nervous and some want to bail. I wasn't nervous because I knew this was the only avenue left for me to be what I wanted to be. if you're sure, there is no doubt. If you think you have other ways to lose weight, maybe you should try those first?

But, if you've tried them(most of us have), make that commitment and erase all doubts.

i am getting banded july 6th too. i don't know what to expect and i have never had surgery so that part makes me nervous. i just hope it works. i have faith it will based on this forum and all the success stories, but still it crosses my mind that i won't lose weight. i am sure i will be more nervous as it gets closer. right now i'm kind of just trying to preoccupy my mind and prepare..

I'm due for surgery July 5th and I feel the same way. I'm so excited but also the knowledge and tiny fear about adjustments physically and emotionally...but the reasons to have it far outweigh my fears...but acknowledging them is a good thing I think?

      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.
