Wow! Something I have to look forward to. I am banded dice dec 2011...I still have a good 25 pounds to go. Last fill might start the process of weight loss. It doesn't seem real when you go to try on clothes and you realize it's not your size anymore!!!! Congrats.

Amazing! I'd love to lose 200+lbs. Any tips or advice? Was banded 6/5/12 and have lost 30lbs.

Congrats to you on your success!

Outstanding!!! You are amazing.

What change from weight loss has meant the most to you? And, did you journal throughout the 21 months? Just curious.

Again, outstanding job!

I have kept a food journal....as I recorded every thing I put in my mouth until my dr asked me to stop back in march.... He wanted me to be able to eyeball it.

I think so far the best thing is exactly why I did it... I have my health. I am not scared of having a heart attack anymore! I actually was very healthy for being overweight but I couldn't walk from Walmart to the car without stopping... I was just carrying too much weight. Now I don't look for the closest parking spot.... I can walk for hours. ;)

And the added benefit of being on the receiving end of double takes isn't bad either ;)

How much do you have in your band and what size is your band, when did you get in the green zone? What do you usually eat and did you work out alot?

      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.
