September Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Happy 2 year anniversary everyone! It would be great to hear from you all and see the progress that has been made. Even though I've had a slip and been rebanded, I would do it all over again! So happy with my new body and new lifestyle. I've lost 114 pounds. Only 10 more and I'll be at goal! Why not post and tell us your favorite thing about being thinner? My favorite thing is feeling healthy and being comfortable with out my clothes on in front of my husband! Now, that is a very big deal for me! LOL

Calling all upcoming bandsters...

I just wanted to start a thread where everyone can post their surgery dates and we can start to compare notes.

I am scheduled for 9/12. I have ALL my pre-op stuff next Wed & Thurs, including psych eval, sleep consult, lab work, 4 hr nutrition class, and pre-op appt with surgeon. It is going to be a couple of very full days.

My parents are coming for a visit the following week, and I don't plan on telling them about the surgery, so I am rushing to get through all of that before they get here.

How is everyone else doing getting their pre-op stuff scheduled?

Here is the list of September Bandsters: I'll try to keep it updated for everyone.

Hi I am new to this board and I guess I am the only person being banded on the 24th. I am lucky in that I work for the hospital and only live a mile from it

Patarice, Reaching for the Stars and Carollee: This thread is for bandsters that were banded in 2006. It's not a very active thread anymore. When we were all new bandsters there was lots of chatter. I would go to the 2008 section and if no one has started a September 2008 thread than you should start one. It's really helpful to have other people that are going through the same thing as you. You're going to love your lap bands. I wish you the best. If I can answer any questions for you, let me know!

      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.
