Jan 2013 Surgery Buddy Wanted



Recommended Posts

I'm getting banded on the 29th of January, 2013 and looking forward to it!!!!! I would love to chat with others who have been there and can lend advice...and maybe a few who are also being banded in January! I work better when I have a 'buddy' to lend support and travel the journey with me.

My day is Tuesday the 22nd and would love to keep in touch with everyone banded in January to share experiences, motivate each other and lend support. I chose not to tell any friends because I have not one who is remotely overweight and I didn't think any of them would understand my struggle. My mom and husband are the only one's who know and it's very lonely not shareing all of this with more people. Congratulations and Good Luck to all the January Bandsters!!

No date yet...still waiting. :-( A lot of confusion at the doc's office so hopefully thing will get resolved and I will know my date this week. The canadian health system is not the greatest to say politely.

      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. 🤞
