My doctor didn't specify a certain number of pounds to lose during preop. They said the point of the preop diet is to shrink our livers and if we lose weight it's an added bonus. That being said...I started my preop diet on 11/20 and I've lost 16lbs so far:)

Hi all, I am not on a pre-op diet because my BMI is lower...I am self pay. Here is my worry, I lack will power when it comes to food in general (which is why I think lap band will help) but the delima in my mind is if I am so weak minded now that I couldn't lose weight on my own, how will I do it when I have the lap band? Im being banded 12-18 and have bought books on emotional eating, etc. but I do worry about it a lot. The one thing i have going for me is I work out a lot which in turn burns some of the calories I eat. I've made the decision in my mind to do this I just do have this worry that I will fail. Am I the only one worried about this? Thank you :)

      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.
