Recommended Posts

I am new to lapband talk and I been reading this site for a few weeks now, and what everyone had to say, it's help me alot to think about what I need to do after the surgery and what foods are good to eat after wards. So now I think i am ready to make this Journey to a new life. I am glad to know I have a place to come to if I have any questions or concerns after i have this done wish me luck I get banned on September 1, 2006 Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :)

Thanks

Hi!

I'm in Texas, too!

Just wanna say good luck, and congratulations to you!

LBT is a great place for info and support...just skip past the family squabbles that pop up here and there...and ask anything you need to know!

Also, use the "search" feature located on the top of the page, across the top, where "User CP" is on the left. That way you can find info you need that has already been posted!

Nice to meet you!

Cindy

Welcome to LBT, soon you will be banded--how exciting!! Are any of these places in Texas anywhere near Comanche? A small place not far from Brownwood, or Temple. We are there several times a year.

Good Luck with your surgery, and your recovery!

Hello , I do not know what to do here but here goes.

I'm scheduled to be banded September 8th. I have been lurking for about a month now. I must say all of you are very informative. I truly enjoy this forum and you all have made me very relaxed. September 8th at 10AM. I am a little nervous but nothing like I was before I found you guys!

I guess I should have told you all I am in Wichita Falls Texas. My surgery will be here and will be done by Dr. Brett May. I am a self pay. My insurance wouldn't cover this but I figure if I want to live I will find a way to get it done.

Welcome TexasBr@t and valgal from another Texan. Lots of us here. I'm grateful that we have a bunch of great band surgeons in our state. I'm pretty new myself and still learning about how my band act (or acts up!).

Stay in touch.

Terry :)

      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.
