I got banned in January 2013 and have lost 72 pounds so far and still moving right along. Off of blood pressure meds, off all diabetic medication and off almost all other medications. I would do it all over again, it's been great so far. I have a question, how do you get the weight loss ticker on the bottom of your page?

Congrats, on the top left of the page click on your user name and it will open a drop down box, you will see the ticker there.

Good luck

Did you make a ticker already? If you go to the edit profile section online (don't know from the app) you should be able to make the ticker and then when you edit your signature you can add it to your signature.

Good luck =) and GREAT weight loss!!

fantastic weight lost...I was banded Jan15 and have lost 40 lbs .. I know this was the best thing for me.. I know I will healthier and happier for the years to come... I can't believe I have not had any weight gain since starting this... not that I have tried but usually by now on any other weight loss deal I would have gained weight back...

Really ? Why what's the matter ? If you want to vent I'm here. I don't have any regrets other than the two weeks of liquids is really getting to me. One more week but I go back to work tomorrow so that will help. Stay strong an focus on the end results :).

Hi wheelcrazy, I am with you. I was banded on 5/20/2013 and I am still thinking Lord what have I done. Thank God I have lost weight so far and made it through the first week of liquid diet. I'm praying to overcome this feeling of buyers remorse.

Everything is ok. It's just really hard on this liquid diet. I have no energy. I keep getting headaches. My port site hurts. It's all such a change.

I agree,the full liquid is betting OLD!! Especially today during cookouts.... but honestly for me the worst is the gas pains in my shoulder!! Any suggestions_?

Take some Gas-X strips, using a heating pad (worked wonders for me) and get up and walk around your house or outside to get the blood flow moving. I also shrugged my shoulders from time to time but what your feeling is temporary! I'm 6 days post op and I'm glad that phase is over!! Take care!

      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.

      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.
