Have been really busy with wedding preps the last month or so. I have pretty much got everything finalised. I found my dream wedding dress and I am realllllly happy with it.

I have healed well from the TT, BL and lipo...they say at 3 mths swell hell hits you again, well it has and it sux. The only discomfort I feel now is in the hips from where I had the Lipo, but I am getting there.

As for weight loss, I havent really lost any in the last couple of months, I have had to take it easy with exercising etc and have just slowly started easing myself back into volleyball. I had an incident about 6 week post op where I went for a bike ride and split a tiny bit of my incision open again, it has slwoly closed back up so that was a bit of a pain too.

All in all I am in a happy place right now, the best I have been in my life, I think I can honestly say that.

Hugs to all.

Hey, Kellie.

Believe me, it's a process, but sounds like you're on the mend...

And "Swell Hell" is absolutely real, and it absolutely sucks when your body has a mind of its own. Luckily, being banded is a good practice for that, probably.

Continued success

Happy Band (And Life) Journeys To All...

      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. 🤞
