Texas Support??? Banded 6-12-12



Recommended Posts

I want a budd : ( I have a co worker with the gastric bypass but its just not the same. I also know a younger girl with the band but she isn't even following the rules and is totally immature! I am 330 lbs 29 years old with 2 kids and 2 step kids. Im married with a wonderful husband but he also is clueless and eats me out of house and home. I need someone or more to share my journey with.

Where in Texas are you? I am in Central Texas but was banded in San Antonio. Do you have MFP? There are some of us over there and I really enjoy the support they give. (as well as here)

Hi Jessica! I am also from Houston and will be having my op on July 6th. How was Dr Hollis? I have a fear of the gas (general anesthesia) they give you. Can you ease my mind a bit? Do you remember?

Welcome to the site! I am sure you will find all the support you need here. THESE are GREAT people here and I have never been on any site so supportive and caring.

      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. 🤞
