Just got my second fill on Monday (5 cc total). Enjoying this fill for now. I'm able to eat fine and stay satisfied for att least 4 hours. Anyone feel like they are in the green zone yet?

Banded May 6th. Have had3 fills (plus a 5cc primer in at surgery), totaling 8.7 cc in a 14 cc band. I have lost 35 pounds since surgery and 71 since I called to setup my initial consultation. Everything is going great for me, working out like crazy! Just finally got under 300 pounds for the first time in years so that was a huge victory!! Hope everyone is doing great!!

Banded May 10th and I'm still kicking. Down 38 lbs. I had the plication with my banding and so far my hunger is controlled. I had two major problems that caused my weight gain over the years.....portion size and munching/grazing. Soft drinks didnt help either. I've given up soft drinks totally and portion size is being mostly controlled by band, so all I really have to focus on is not munching and grazing. I dont think its going to be a short journey, but I do feel it will be effective and I'll get there. Did I mention......no fills as of yet? But I do see my surgeon Monday.

Hi all May bandsters!! I was banded may 20th And have lost 32lbs. I feel great! I have had only one fill. My dr did not want to give me another one until I stop having stucks!! I am still learning to chew chew chew and eat slower. Which is much better now. I also need to work out more than I am. Have never liked it and still don't but I know how important it is for my progress ! I was on vacation and did ok (not perfect) but that def effected my weight loss. So back on track and hope I can get a fill this Tuesday at my appt. keep up the good work everyone !!

I was banded May 21st 2013 and I'm officially half way to my goal. 2 weeks before surgery I was 330 lbs I weighed in this morning at 269.8 (-60.2 lbs). My goal is 210 so I'm officially over half way there. I've had 2 fills since surgery and feel pretty comfortable where I'm at now restriction wise. Best decision I've ever made.

      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.
