Hi, you've the surgery done right? Are you willing to mentor someone? I am getting my surgery done on the fourth of June and I would love it if I could have someone help me with my weight loss process?

With you finding your someone who loves you regardless of your size is a wonderful thing. My bf is a skinny dude and I'm a big girl but he still loves me for me, he said I'm perfect at the size I am but yeah that's good to know that he thinks that but I want to be perfect at a smaller healthy size:

Hi Lauren, I live in Oceanside. My surgeon was dr. Garber. Its going well so far. I just have pain in my belly near the incision. It's just hard to go from siting to standing and laying to standing. I am feeling like I am getting back to normal which is good. Hopefully I'll be great in a couple days. How are u doing?

Hi I'm new to the forum but not to the band :) I'm from port Jeff station, 31, and was banded by Dr. Gabriel back in July 2010. I have recently just switched to Dr. Aurora Pryor though (who i love) for my band care. I've been very happy with my band so far, down 90lbs, 30lbs away from goal. I'm actually interested now in cosmetic surgery and wondering if anyone local here has had any and if so what has your experience been? Who was your doctor? Etc. I'm really excited to meet people local to me that can relate to what I'm going through with the band :))

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
