Hello! I was also banded on 4/18/12 and have lost 38lbs , (congrats cbarreto on your 52lb loss). My scars are still noticeable but I think it’s partly because I just have that type of skin, the 4 smaller ones are less noticeable just dark in color and of course the port incision is longer. I go for my 3rd fill next week, so super excited to maybe hit the "green zone"

latisadawn-- how much weight loss for you? How are your scars doing? Have you hit the green zone?

I was banded 4/26 and everything is going good for me. I am down 45 lbs!!! My scars have healed nicely I have had 5 fills and I'm now at 5.5 cc in my 10cc band and I'm haveing a hard time deciding if it's the green zone or maybe a little tight I can't eat more than a quarter of a cup of food and things that were ok before I got my last fill I can't get down now. I go back to doc on the 31st so I will find out then.

      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.
