Site Newbie & 7/18 Band Date



Recommended Posts

I'm scheduled to get banded on 7/18 at 10am.

I am having a wide range of emotions right now. Excitement, nervousness, anxiousness, happiness, and a small bit of sadness.

I'm determined to follow all the exact guidelines so that I can be success story and fully experience all the positive effects of the band.

Wish me luck and I will be checking in this site...often!

Is this prep op or post op?? My doctor doesn't required a pre op diet, I had to do 2 weeks liquid after surgery and 1 week mushy foods and then introduce solids little by little! All depends on the doctor!

I didn't have to do a 2 week pre-op liquid diet either. All that is recommended is Clear Liquids the day before surgery. So I guess tomorrow I'll be drinking Crystal Light and Water & eating a light lunch/dinner....like salmon

      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.
