Well finally I'm happy to report I'm in ONEderland and also broke through my plateau!

I'm coming up on my 5 month bandiversary on the 5th...hey is that my golden bandiversary?

I have to say how pleased I am thus far with my loss and my new little friend...

I'm really restricted right now but learning to work with it...I had a small tweak on Wednesday which is instituting the good band eating rules again for me...chew chew chew

I've started walking the dog more...now he expects a walk everday!

I again want to thank everyone on the board for their constant and caring support!

Thanks for all your replies...

Ahead of the bell curve...why do I still feel so fat? LOL

I went against your advice and got a small tweak...so glad I did...I didn't realize how much restriction I didn't have...now I'm tighter than tight and trying to deal with it...I'm sure it will loosen up after I get my period...so...I have until Wednesday!

Thanks for all your replies!

Congratulation:cool:

I knew you where getting tweaked when you wrote......I'm planning on going with my band twin to her fill appointment tomorrow and I too have an appointment...I'm going to talk with the PA who does our fills and see what she thinks...it just sucks that my only day off after working 6 days I have to waste on a 4 hour drive to Milwaukee and back...oh well!

I would have too. Just curious, What did your PA say.. If your too tight will you have some removed? (I don't think that'll happen) Whats your total fill amount?

Vera,

The PA said that based on the amount I could eat I could use a fill...she put me up .25 so now I'm at 3.25 total...

      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.
