New to posting, this may be a little choppy...July 24th is my surgery date. I am extremely nervous and excited about getting this surgery!!! Thought I would be finished by now with all of the appointments that the doctor wanted scheduled...not the case. The doctors office was supposed to send me more dates to go to see the nutritionist, a psychiatrist and dietitian...well 2 weeks later I haven't received any information. I called two times to check on the this paperwork and they said I should receive it soon. So, I will be calling again tomorrow. I had my upper GI last week and my blood work came back...it's positive for H. pylori - the doctor hasn't called me about it yet, so I'm not sure if I will be on antibiotics and if I will have enough time to clear the infection before July 24th. Hoping this doesn't lead to a setback for the surgery!

Does anyone have any information about H. pylori and being banded?

I do not have any other information about anything else at this point. Like I said, I thought I would be finished with all the appointments and preparing for some kind of pre-op diet. Updates to follow...

July has many people getting banded and I wish everyone good luck on their new life and journey!

  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.
