I LOVE LOVE LOVE MY BAND:biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1: :biggrin1:

ok just a few weeks ago i was a little unsure that this was going to work. seeing as how i have been at a standstill since the first month of surgery. i was a little disappointed that i didn't have the gastric bypass instead, but i had another 0.5cc fill last friday (for a total of 2cc) and it was what i needed!!! i feel control-it is like the cravings were reduced by 75% or more. i really don't care what i eat as long as i eat when i am truely hungry. i feel motivated. i feel awesome. (that awesomeness may be from working out every other day though) hey i even quit drinking with my meals--now that my band is working i figured i might as well work with it! i know i know, it should have been the other way around but hey what can i say, for a nurse i am pretty noncompliant!

good luck to everyone who is struggling you will get there!!!!!!

That is so awesome! I'm hoping for the same thing with my 2nd fill on Sat. I can eat as much as preband right now. I'm glad to see there is hope!

:biggrin1: Jen, reading your post made me smile, lol. It is so good to see people post about how happy they are with their bands and that they are loving it. I started really loving mine after I got my first fill too. Restriction is a beautiful thing!

Congrats, you deserve it,

I'm so glad your band is working for you and yes I agree the fill is the key for help. I got my 2nd fill 2 weeks ago and it has worked wonders. I too am about at the same, 2.25 but now it is t.o.m. and I can tell I'm eating a tad more and had my first pbing incident yesterday and it was horrible. It hurt so bad but I made it through it.

I had said I wasn't going to post with all of the stuff that was going on with the people talking so nasty on here but I feel this is my home as much as anyone's and I don't have a single problem with noone so I'm going to try it but just try to not post very much. I just wanted to say how proud for you I was.

      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.
