Today is the day. I've got the iv in my hand. Now I wait. Upon checking in, the lady taking my paper work says that I look too small for this surgery. It messed with my head for a bit. I am sure she meant well, but it isn't what I needed to hear on top of already being scared. Regardless, I am here and ready to have my band removed and wake up sleeved.

Thinking of all who are in surgery, on their way to surgery or have had their surgery.

Will check back in when I'm able.

Hey Tai...

So glad you are all in a great spirit and saying a prayer for you today... I will also be going from band to sleeve. And the statement about "being too small for surgery"... I get that too. But, we know where we are headed without the surgery... and don't want to wait. Don't let it throw you.

What was your beginning weight prior to the band? I see you are still online and waiting for your doc to take you in... I'll be listening for you when you get out of recovery... God Bless You today...

Thank you so much!! I am just about ready to go. Prior to the band, I was 245. Heaviest I ever got was 289, and managed to lose 120 lbs on WW. But keeping it off was the difficulty.

Off to surgery! Bye.

Gosh Tai... we sound like the same story... my high was 234 and lost with WW to 183. slowly gained it all back... then after being diagnosed with diabetes II... I went for the band at 221 lbs... lost down to 183 again... Then started having all the usual band problems, had to have the Fluid removed and now sitting at 206. So ready for the sleeve...

Let's stay in touch... love to talk to those who this is the 2nd go round... and with all the blessings of being the last go round... God Bless... LOLOL... I was looking at your profile and if you changed heads, that could be me standing where you are... too funny... I am about 10 years older than you though...

You are on my mind today. Having just been there, I know the emotions :) trust that you are going to come out of this without any problems. Dr. A and Jessica and the rest of the staff will take such good care of you. May God be with you and you feel his peace, today and tomorrow. I think you will be amazed once you wake up today just how little pain there really is. Big hugs to you girl!!

To each of you have surgery today, may you have a speedy recovery and as little pain as possible!

      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
