I meet with the pulmonologist next week, and then I'm hoping to be done with all the testing. Would love to be banded by early Oct, not sure how long it takes once the testing is over. I know I have to do a 2 week pre-op diet first.

I am getting banded on sep 3rd would love to have some support from people around Plainfield IL.

We aren't close, but are on the same "schedule" for banding. First day was a witch. Husband and kids "forgetting" I can't eat and snarling down chicken strips n fries.... Then wondering why I wouldn't try them made it an even bigger ARGH.

Lol I did get Hungary until like 4 witch when I started cooking my dinner I thought it was going to be bad eating a lil while everyone eat good stuff. But my mom was cooking food I really don't care fore this week witch is good. One day done 13 more to go lol. Are is your pre op diet are you able to eat a small meal or just shakes.

      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.
