Thanks! Im going to be thinking of you too! I wish my husband was more supportive. He's so removed from the process he doesn't even know where I'm going. He just asked me to give him the name of the place and address so he knows where he has to pick me up. He hasn't wanted to hear anything about it. Don't know why it's bothering me now. Anyway, Teresa we are doing this for us! We will be just fine. Lets keep in touch please! We are soon to be banded sisters.

I think our husbands must b twins... at least mine is going with me , only because there is a hunting store nearby .. I totally understand why it bothers u ...

My hubby keeps telling me " you're just going to leave me when u loose all that weight anyway".

It is so much on my mind... how sad , but true ...

I am still not familiar with this forum so if u want to email me .... teresa4u@sbcglobal.net ...... I think we might could communicate better..

What do u think ??

Hi everyone! How did it go today? I was only at the hospital for 3 1/2 total hours. I feel good. Just a little gas and incision pain but definitely manageable. I have been walking and have taken some pain meds. Sooooo excited about the start of this journey! I hope everyone is feeling good and I can't wait to hear. Xoxoxo Rina

How are all the March 18th bandsters doing? I am down 30 pounds since my initial consult but only 10 of that has been post band. I had a post surgery complication and ended up in the hospital but I'm fine now thank God. I had my first fill today. Looking forward to getting back to losing.

I was banded March 18 too!! In Ft Worth..or rather at a Medical Center in Roanoke, TX. My Docter is in Ft. Worth. I am down 35 pounds since my first consult in February. 15 since surgery. I am loving this not hungry feeling. Although about once a week I feel like I want to eat EVERYTHING!!! haha. I go for my first fill appt April 29th...and I'm not sure yet if I want a fill. I am pretty restricted at the moment. OH, I had the IBand...lap band with plication. So maybe that has something to do with it also.

That's great! The plication may make a big difference. Good to hear you are doing well.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
