I've struggled my entire 30 years of life with my weight. Diet after diet. I'd lose a pound here and there,but never permanently... I started this weight loss journey last February. Going to seminars, watching YouTube videos, doing research. I knew the Lapband was for me!!! I had to recently lose 40pounds to qualify within a 6month period, per my insurance request. I lost the weight!!! Today, my dr office called saying I'VE BEEN APPROVED FOR MY SURGERY!!! May 6th 2013 is the day for me!! Im beyond excited. I have to be on a 3week liquid pre op diet.,That im not happy about, lol. But the NEW ME WILL BE!

Me too...I'm freaked out about no soda and no coffee with two cream and two sugar. It'll be worth it in the end!!

      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.
