Keep up the good work. I was banded May 24 and I am down about 14 lbs. I had my first fill on the 14th. I am learning a lot about myself and am proud of the work I am doing for MYSELF!!!

thank you for your encouraging words. Did you have a lot of pain with your fill? I am a little nervous about getting it.

thank you for your encouraging words. Did you have a lot of pain with your fill? I am a little nervous about getting it.

I was also very nervous about the fill( I dont like needles). All the anxiety for nothing.

My surgeon had me lay on my back and he felt around my belly and pushed a little...said a little pinch.... then said hold your finger here..... It was over barely felt anything...

I love my surgeon and his whole office.

I did not watch, I just layed still and followed his directions.

I was a little tired after, I think just because I was so nervous...

Take a deep breath and relax, I am positive you will do great...

I am very glad your fill went fine... I knew you would do just fine!

My weight loss has stopped for about a week and a half... But I dont go back for a few more weeks.

I get discoraged and start the negative self talk about failure, but I straighten up and fly right.

Keep up the great work my band sister!!!

      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.
