Hi everyone EDG went well. No problems. No BSBC does not require but they ordered me one because of my bad heartburn and acid reflux that I have. So I have a hostel hernia which the surgeon will repair while he us doing the band.

That's so good to hear. I think I have been having heartburn lately. I just started getting it. Are those signs or is it if u have always had heartburn. It just came when I started eating back and gaining more weight. So happy it went well. I knew it would. How's the pre op diet going ? Any loss?

Yes, heartburn is a sign. Not just your regular every day heart burn either. With in the last 5 years its been horrible. Some night I can't sleep cause it feels like its coming thorough my throat. I'm just glad I know so they can know and the doctor won't have a surprise waiting on him.

Hi, I'm a newbi. Just getting final tests then paperwork may be submitted to insurance for approval. Already been pre-approved, so it's just paperwork. Expect to have the band in August or so.

Do folks meet in person or just online? Would like to find a local group of others to hang out with from time to time so that I don't fall back into bad eating habits with current friends.

The hospital call me yesterday to pre register me. Woohoo and today I officially start the 2 week preop diet. I started early though and lost a few to keep the stress off. This to me I think is going to be the real challenge. Lol

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
