It's my One Year Band Anniversary...



Recommended Posts

Wow, I can't believe it....it was one year ago today....August 17, 2005, I got my wonderful band!!! Oh, how my life has changed and I am so grateful, happy, excited and thrilled.

I want to thank everyone on LBT, from the bottom of my heart, for the support, advice and friendship you all have shown me the last year and a half. I have learned so much from all of you, mostly that I was not the only person on the face of this earth experiencing difficult times due to my weight; from not being able to fit in a booth at a restrauant to not traveling due to my weight. In other words, you guys helped me feel normal. Thank you all so very much...

As promised, I am (for the first time) posting my before pic along with my one year anniversary pic....hope it works. If it comes out too big or not side by side, hopefully one of our expert photograhers/computer wizards can help me....thanks.

      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.
