I'm feeling great. Had my first fill on Monday with frank and resumed spinning on Tuesday so now I hope to see the scale go down. I'm still amazed how I'm not starving and am satisfied with so little. Never knew how much I ate till I see how little I eat now if that makes sense. How are you feeling doing? Have u gone to the support group at NYU? I'm thinking of checking it out this month....since its all so new I want to gain as much insight as I can lol

I feel great!! I go back to see Dr Fielding on the 23rd and he said depending on how much more weight I lost he will decide whether or not to give me my first fill. I said the same thing about how much less I'm eating. It really is such a difference! I haven't been to any of the supports groups recently. My husband used to have the band and so does a few of my in laws so I'm pretty familiar with what to expect. But I remember in the beginning if my husbands journey going with him, and they really are very helpful and informative. I just started doing some exercise this week and I have so much more energy! Definitely the best decision I have made to better my healthy and way of life!! I'm glad to hear you too are doing so well! Good luck to you!! :-)

That's great! I don't get my first fill until August 23! Good luck to you on your journey!! :-)

The 23rd will be my 3 year "bandiversary" since I was banded at NYU by Dr. Ren. I can't believe how fast the time has flown!

Not yet before I get a date I need my insurance approval. My doctor (whom I love to pieces) was a little slow submitting all my documents. That has slowed down my approval.

      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.
