Can you feel anything in the area of your band when you're straining?

No, I don't think so. It's all down lower but I still worry.

I used milk of Mac & I did finally go just remember you don't have much solid in you so b patient when you strain it should not affect your stomach or band its to high up in the digestive track my Dr said it was safe to try but not till I'm in pain it cancause other issues(hemorrhoids...ugh)

That sets my mind at ease ;) Thanks!!

So excited! Getting banded tomorrow morning!!! The only thing I'm nervous about is complications. Other than that I'm feeling pretty excited and I hope the healing phase is pretty quick!

Good to hear from you!!! I'm doing pretty good. I LOVE my band and am so happy I did this! I have zero appetite and feel super stuffed. I know I need to get the proteing in though so I am trying! ;)

Day 8 of this DAMN pre-op Protein diet and I'm STARVING, STARVING!! lol At least I get one decent meal per day, I can't wait until din din time. I'll be banded on Thursday, August 23rd. I'm so hoping that I won't be hungry anymore. I think that's the worst part and I'm already stressed and crazy. I'll be fine I know, pre-surgery, new life jitters!

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

    • buildabetteranna

      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
