The First Time I Have Found Anyone To Talk About Lapbands!



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone,

I was banded almost a year and a half ago and have felt soooo alone!

Oh my gosh, I hope to find some kindred souls to share with!

I have lost 50 lbs and have 50 more to go!

Anyone out there??

:)

Oh Wow! :)

I can't get over that anyone answered so quickly! :)

I don't know how to respond and chat individually ("NOT" a natural on the computer)...but I will figure it out! I would sure love to talk to you...I have been struggling and there is very little I can do but wait to see my surgeon. I live near Montreal and we don't have any connection with any "groups" as such. I will be back later and try to figure out how to "chat". I have to go now...but to the everyone who responded to my first reach out e-mail: THANK YOU!!!!! :)

I will be back later!

I did not know there was an actual "chat room"! I have exclusively used the IPhone app since i signed up and it does not have that option. I will have to get on the computer soon and check it out.

      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
