A thread for super-sized bandsters - starting BMI over 50?



Recommended Posts

i want one!!!! i have to go to my father in laws work and get on there industrial scale for cargo!

Hi Guys!

I am not a supersized bandster, but like to lurk on this thread. You all are so inspiring !! I hope to have the same success you all are obtaining when I am banded.

Back when I was researching WLS, I went to an RNY support group meeting. They would have a scale there for the larger patients, because I am sure most of them did not have one at home. You may consider calling a few support groups in your area to see if they do that too. Much better than trying to jump on the scale at your father-in-law's work when no one is looking! :)

Congratulations are in order losingjusme!! Do home scales go up to 350? I haven't been able to get on one in so long I have forgotten. If so I might think about buying one... I just don't want to be a scale whore.

You can buy an "obesity scale" on ebay that goes up to 550 pounds. I bought one back in November so I could weigh in between doctor visits. Think I paid less than $50.

CONGRATULATIONS! I too will probably be a crying happy mess if I can just get under 300. Right now that seems almost an impossibility. I am still in the waiting for approval from BCBS process. My 37th bday is on 1/31.. maybe I'll get approved for my bday!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
