Early june 2013 banders?



Recommended Posts

I'm back too :-) I've stayed away a little while, but it's time to get serious. I've lost a total of 40 so far, but should have lost more since June. The good news is, over thanksgiving and Christmas I haven't gained. I've just been simply sticking at 40. Time to get back on the losing track! Maybe we can get together to walk Kim, I still want to meet! :-)

Hello my fellow bandsters! I was banded June 2013. I can't believe I am approaching 1 year. How is everyone doing? I'm doing well. I've lost 60lbs so far. I had a few months of plateaus. I have definitely lost more inches than weight. I've gone from a size 22W to a 16W. I work out with a trainer twice a week and on my own 3 days. Total of 5 days a week. I have finally hit the green zone! I recently found out I have hypothyroidism. It may explain why my weight loss has slowed. I start meds today so we will see how that goes. My surgeon thinks it will help tremendously. I am so happy that I chose to have lapband surgery. It is an fantastic tool and has taught me how to eat and actually enjoy food. It's amazing how such small amounts can satisfy me now. I have attached a before and a few in progress photos. I hope everyone is doing great!! post-146026-0-66316100-1397655545_thumb.jpg post-146026-0-66624700-1397656059_thumb.jpg post-146026-0-79741100-1397656035_thumb.jpg post-146026-0-82362200-1397655556_thumb.jpg

      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.
