October 2012 Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I was banded on October 12, 2012 and have lost 35 pounds so far. I have only had 2 band fills with a total of 3cc in my band. My mother was banded several years ago. While I haven't experienced any Hair loss. She did, but her hair is growing back thicker now than ever. She takes Bariatrics Vitamins and Biotin. I'm glad to have found all you fellow October 2012 bandsters!

I haven't started to lose any hair yet. I have started to take optisource chewable vitamins for post bariatric surgery the past 3 days and have lost 3.4 pounds. I'm taking that along with calcium citrate and Biotin daily. I have increased my Water intake.

Ive been losing since mid december..banded 10.23..its been almost 8 weeks and still losing hair... its amazing how everyone reacts different. Ive taken all the right Protein and Vitamins including Biotin and Iron. Still happened. The general concensus is it will stop and come back. Just when and how much is the nagging question.

      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
