How's everyone doing?? I am having a hard time getting everything in (protien/water). I feel super full all the time. I never thought those words would come out of my mouth! LOL! I'm only 4 days post op so I am just taking it day to day and allowing myself to heal before I worry about it too much. If I still feel the same next week I'll call my Dr. Maybe the band is too tight?! I hope everyone is having a good day!!

Oh... man. I'm kinda worried, guys! I'm to be banded on Tuesday at 730 - I'm super excited about that of course - first surgery of the day and I have an awesome team... but I was drying my hair this morning and pulled a muscle in my back on the right side. No idea how, I guess I'm just talented like that. Does anybody know if somehow it isn't resolved, will this interfere with surgery? It's been spasming pretty bad off and on, but I've had had this happen before and the only thing the docs do is have me "take it easy" until it calms down. So, I've been laying in bed and sleeping off and on simply out of nothing to do. I guess it's just one of my last little worries... :unsure:

I hope everything is going well with everyone who's been banded in the past few weeks and everyone who is going to be banded in the next few. I have two weeks off of work, so I'm looking forward to catching up on movies and whatnot :rolleyes:

Congratulations to all the recent bandsters. I'm getting excited for the 30th. Living through this low calorie liquid diet is the biggest challenge right now. Drinking a lot of Vitamin waters but craving a dirt pepsi horribly. Anyone have any tricks on getting over my soda addiction? Diet pepsi has been my vice for YEARS!

Was just banded yesterday (the 17th) and i'm already having stomach growls from hunger! Whats that all about!? I keep being told that I wont be hungry for a while!

On the bright side though, the surgery went well, so far no gas pains, i'm out and about, and barely feeling nauseous! woohoo!!

Definitely don't feel the band either. In fact if I didn't feel the port I would wonder if my doc pulled a fast one on me :P

      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.
