Congratulations! At least this way you won't be over eating on the wrong foods on Valentine's Day.

Best wishes

Wow...no turning back now! I just checked into the hospital. I live in Europe, so they keep you in the hospital longer than the US.

It's funny because I have to ask everyone "speak English?" but most people are pretty nice. This is my first time in a hospital here, so that's the only reason I'm a little nervous. But I know that God is with me.

My girlfriend just left so I thought I'd read a few posts. She had her band done here over a year ago, so it's good to have someone in your corner who has walked the road before you.

I downloaded new books on my kindle...so I guess I'll get to reading.

IF I don't get back on here--Happy Valentine's Day to my fellow bandsters! What a wonderful gift to our lives!

Please join the "February 2013 Bandsters" group forum. (on the main forum page--go down to LBT Social forums, then look for the name--towards the bottom) We've become a great family there!

Praying for everyone on our new journey! :wub:

      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.
