Anyone Getting Banded In September?



Recommended Posts

I'm getting banded September 10th. Nervous and excited all in one! Not so much nervous about the surgery' date=' but making sure I eat the right things for the week of pre-op to post-op.[/quote']

I am getting banded on Sept 6th. The first day was hard of my 2 week diet. It gets easier each day... I find myself not even eating all my food. I have been eating a Talapia with Brussels and little fruit and it would get me full... I have learned so far not to drink with my meal or I feel hungry. It's like I already have my band... Tonight I ate 4 bites of my Talapia, 6 Brussels and 2 notes of fruit and I was full! I thought it was gonna be harder but I will tell you it is hard to see someone eat a pizza slice or a hamburger but I just have to be motivated and keep my eye on the future and remember how much I want the surgery and it helps!!!

Im getting banded in September as well, but im worried about being able to stick to the preop diet, i kindof think if were able to be so disciplined in xalorie restriction, i wouldnt be overweight and needing the surgery. Anyone else jave these thoughts?

I am scheduled to get banded Sept 4th. I have my pre-op appointments on tuesday August 28th. So far I have no idea if I will have a pre-op diet. I'm hoping not :P I'm excited, but also nervous. This is going to be a HUGE change. It will be nice to have support from those going through the same thing.

I'm also getting banded September 10th. I'm excited and nervous like everyone else. My pre-op diet is just 1500 calories and low fat. I hear a lot of people do the liquid diets, but my surgeon says its not necessary. I'm a single mom and I'm really worried about being able to get back to normal activities ASAP.

Hello Fellow Sept Banders,

This has been a long journey, and I finally have a date of surgery on 9/27! I have my pre-op diet on Wednesday, and start the liquid diet on 9/12.

Good luck!

      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.
