March 2013 Surgery Dates?



Recommended Posts

Today will be the start of day 6 of my preop diet and I've only lost 4 lbs. I'm pretty disappointed! :( I'm following everything exact except maybe not getting enough fluids but that shouldn't make me heavier' date=' right?

I'm super excited for surgery on Tuesday though!!![/quote']

I only lost 6 at my 2 week pre op appointment

I don't know your situation, but the health benefits of not being obese were a selling point for me. High risk of heart disease including high blood pressure and cholesterol and also diabetes can be treated effectively by reducing excess body fat to a healthy level.

My wife has been banded for just over a year and has lost just over 70lbs. I am scheduled for the 20th as well. I wanna see my kids grow up.

Hi all! I just had my surgery on 3/8/13... Doing really well. I'm not a first time bander, this was actually my second revision. My first surgery was in 2006, 1st revision 2010 and this current one. I am stil glad that I started this journey... You will all be thrilled! My band is the best thing that has ever happened to me! I have lost since Surgey #1 130lbs! My goal is to drop about 20-25 more... My biggest words of advise... Follow doctors orders and start exercising ASAP! Good luck to u all!

I hope I feel better tomorrow, the port side pain is horrible, and my stomach is so bloated and tight feeling. I feel no hunger, I feel full to bursting. I have been sipping Water, Protein Shake, slim milk &v8 throughout the day and have napped quite a bit. No nausea so that's a plus.

Anyone else finding it hard to burp? It's so annoying!

Readyforthin.... I have no idea... I think my first slip may have happened bc of doctor error. I swirched Surgeons since then. I am thrilled with this guy! My doctor fixed the slip the first time and warned me it could happen again. This slip was the most painful thing ever and my revision was not planned it was an emergency surgery. I have to say though.. This is the best I have ever felt after surgery. Good luck to u:).

      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.
