You said you are eating like you did before surgery. That is the problem. You must change your eating habits for a lifetime, including smaller portions (no more than 1/2-1 cup total per meal) and make healthy food choices.

It's also possible (likely) you don't have good restriction yet. Have you had fills?

Btw, 37 pounds is a great loss. That's over 3 pounds a week. I'm not sure what you expected but that is a lot.

1. You should probably call your Dr and schedule an appointment to see about a fill.

2. Have you seen a nutritionist?

3. The band will not stop you from eating crap.

4. If you want to lose weight until you hit the green zone, you need to diet.

Last, you've lost 37 pounds in two months! That is great. average is 1-2lb per week.

If it makes you feel better my surgery was 4/20 and I'm at 21lb. I'm working hard but have no restriction. I'm not defeated as I know it will get there. I look forward to my next fill in a week and hope it helps a little. Sounds like average on this board is 3-4 fills to feel restriction. It's a journey not a race I like to think of it.

Are you serious? Is this a joke? 2 months and 37 lbs? What were you expecting? Sorry if this isn't one of the supportive type responses but there are hundreds of bandsters who would switch places with you.

I was also banded April 20th, and I've lost 10 pounds since surgery, and I'm thrilled. (For people confused by the ticker below, I lost a decent amount in the months before surgery).

I think you need to do some more research about the mechanisms that make the band work, and how you should eat to maximize the effect.

I'm sorry but I can't understand this at all.

Is English not your native language? If not, maybe type in your native language and we can translate it with Google?

      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.
