Welcome and congratulations on this new chapter in your life. I am pre-band also, scheduled for 11/5. Hope your pre-op liquid diet is going well -- great to lose a chunk and get the liver healthy prior to surgery....as to what to expect, I have been learning so much over the last couple of months here on LB Talk. I know it won't be easy once I'm banded, that I will have to be careful to keep to the small amounts of food, not drink with food, no slider foods, etc. but I'm very excited because I know this is going to work and I'm going to get my health back.

Thank you. I'm on day six of my liquids and starting to feel good. Hunger is not my focus anymore.

Hello everyone. First time here. Still don't no how to get around lol. On Friday I had my 2 app with the Dr. Who was going to do my lap band. In 3 weeks I did all my paper work and test , blood work, took the 3 hour class, I mean I did everything he told me I needed. He tells me Friday he doesn't do lap band. He was trying get me to do 1 of the other ones. After he sat down with me back in February 2012 and with my son who wanted to know about this. Dr. Knew I wanted lap band nothing else. We talk about the lap band only. So he was upset cause he didn't get his way. WTf. Is my body. I will not get anything but lap band. So now I'm trying find another hospital .;( no lap band for now.

Hi there, I hope you find just the right doctor. I think some surgeons don't want to do LB because of all the follow-up for fills, etc. You don't want to go to anyone driven by greed anyway; you deserve a physician who is invested in your health. Best wishes!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
