Banded March 20th; first fill May 15th. Wish my current loss was faster but it's a loss so I'm not going to complain. I'm enjoying my way of eating (small portions, no breads, Pasta, anything that might get stuck) but I miss raw vegetables. I haven't yet reintroduced salad stuff as I've read many people have issues with lettuce, raw carrots, etc.

Otherwise, I'm pleased with my decision and have no regrets at all so far.

Good Moring March Banders,

I had my first fill on 4/2 they did not give me the amount of cc's they put in and my next fill is coming up on 4/30. My weight loss has not moved this month it keeps fluctuaiting between 211-214 so I am staying away from my home scale and will let the RN weigh me next week, hopefully this adjustment will give me a little more restriction but not too much :) Good Luck all and thanks for sharing your progress!!

      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.
