Please no one take my post as negative. I love everyone. And it's her choice. On what type of help or assistance she seeks.

Antwan, I do not think it sounded negative just informative. Are you post op or pre op? Your profile doesn't tell us about you!! Come on share . . . .

Well..... first of all..... no need to be skeptical about who I am. If I wanted to be anonymous, I wouldn't have signed! lol

I never said it was a "quick" fix. It is what everyone who chooses surgery hopes will be a fix to the problem... but it is not the answer IN MY OPINION.

Doctors, centers, and clinics are making a fortune operating on people who are suffering with a very complex issue. Yes, it is a tool... but it is a costly tool with an inceasingly high failure rate. European studies are much more accurate because they have been doing the procedures for a longer period of time.

No need to get hostile... I'm not bashing you and your choice... just hopeful that people who are considering surgery will think again.

Off again I ride into internet obscurity.... lol

Be well! :)

The failure rate is mostly from when you decide to not change your diet. The band is for people who can diet but can't keep it off or dieting and exercise results in little weight change.

But thanks to continue to stretch the true. Increasing failure rate? Most people who state this talk about studies from people who have older bands. The newest band is a different cat.

You can do whatever you wish on this board. I'm already banded. You might as well put an advertisement for your website or product you're going to advertise soon. Or perhaps you're from the weight watchers board and your overly sad because you've tried every diet and exercise but you haven't lost any weight.

Just my .02

OH and by the way why must all surgical procedures be cheap for people? I still say there's a specific reason why you created an account almost 4 years ago and just now decided to post. I'm sure we'll find out soon enough.

Passive aggressive much, Amy?

lol

Tasha-girl, DO YOU.

Do what is going to work for you and best of luck to all. Even Amy who is on her own journey as well.

I liked the idea of the sleeve because it cuts out the part of your stomach that hides the dreaded HUNGER HORMONES...

work it...

own it..

To play devil's advocate here, there are studies that show the ghrelin hormone regrows over time.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
