Hey everyone. I have been lurking on this site for a while but I decided to go ahead and register and say hey. I am just starting my band process. I had my first appointment at True Results in Scottsdale, today. So... Yeah. This is happening. :D

I remember when I made my mental commitment and how thrilling the whole thing was but how darn long it takes to get to the point where you start shedding the lbs. Congrats!

The mental hurdle is the biggest one. Actually stepping through the doors was easy. :) This is going to take some time, I have a few hops to jump through to make my insurance company happy. That's fine, I'll jump. I'll learn valuable lessons in the process. Thank you.

Thank you. I am sure I won't be. This isn't a rash decision, I'm going in both eyes wide open. :)

That is awesome! I too went through the True Results in Scottsdale. It took me just over a year to finally decide, and I am now 1 week post-surgery. I can tell you that it might seem like you made a bad decision the first couple of days, but believe me, you will SO learn that you made the right choice! Welcome to the family:)

Thank you so much. :)

It's funny, I half expected, once the initial euphoria began to calm to feel that touch of "buyers remorse" or fear that I was making a mistake but I have given this so much thought, researched it so thoroughly and gone back and forth in my head over it for so long that I am completely calm about my decision. :D

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
