I was banded June 22nd @ 244 lbs, now 5 months and 11 days I am 199.2 - 45 lbs down!!! So glad I went through with this. It's been a really good tool and experience. I have learned a lot about my health that I think will help me keep the weight off in the future.

HI

I was banded July 6 06.

I started with a 54" waist... now 32".

I've lost 156 lbs.

My current weight is 134 lbs (and I NEVER tell any one my weight... LOL).

I still get weighed in every month with my family doctor... this keeps me on track and motivated.

Hi I was banded 10/2010 with a start weight of 272, after a slow start I am now 149 and loving my new life. There were times that I truly wanted to give up, I would read how others were losing so much wt and I couldn't lose more than 35 and I was so upset with myself. But I was able to get past that and this year which I started at 227, ended up turning out pretty good. I buckled down and followed the food rules, and was able to kick start my weight loss.

So as motivation I can say that you will love the way you feel when you lose the weight, and the way you see yourself will change your life forever. Go for it, and you won't regret it.

      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.
