Hello from Jonesboro, Ga

I am looking for lapband buddies in my area for support and encouragement, and maybe lots of prayer.

Had my banding Thursday, pain pulls are great nausea patch in place. Feeling pretty good. I did sneak a bit of cheeseburger, of which I feel sooo guilty of.

Hey Jan, good luck with the surgery, I felt pretty good on the first day, of course drugs helped. I am sore this is day 3 of post op - I was banded Thursday myself

How are you sleeping? My surgeon places the port right above the left breast, so needless to say it pulls tremendously, so I'm having to sleep on a recliner. I'm so looking forward to getting into my bed.

I'm 4 days post- op and the boredom is killing me! All these food commercials, so my head hunger is on the rampage!

Sorry to hear you are not sleeping, what a horrible place for a port. Mine is right above my belly button, I am no longer sore I am 10 days post-op and I feel great so far . Started soft foods, last Wednesday. But feel like I am eating all the time. I am ready for the feel I think :-/

My dr said this is the most stable location to put a port and reduces the risk of the port flipping. I can't feel it right now so I can't wait to go back on Wednesday and have him show me exactly where it is.

For the most part, I'm doing fairly well. Still having pulling pain in my port site. I'm so over the clear liquids'. I've had way too much time to think about food. It's those boredom head cravings, but I'm managing'

I am so excited and terrified at the same time. I hope the process will go smoothly and I can get banded sooner rather than later.

I will be glad to have a fill, I feel no restrictions and I eat everything that is soft, I feel like I am putting my weight back on. Maybe I need to go back to liquid diet

      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.
