I'm November 1st in Houston, Tx. HELP ME: I'm sooooo sick to my stomach and I can't sleep at nite. I'm having a revision from a lap band and I'm so scared of what he's going to find when he takes the band off. :huh:

I feel the same way as you!! Im like what if the band has done to much damage and now i cant get the surgery... Well if I cant get the surgery until afterwards I would rather be safe then sorry. So go and get it taken out at least that is start so you dont have to worry about any other complications, associated with the band. You will be fine Im sure I will say a prayer for us and let god work his magic!!!

Did they do a Upper GI or Endoscopy on you? I would think either of those tests would give them a good idea if there were any issues :)

I did have a EGD done that came out okay, but most people dont know how much damage and scare tissue the lap band causes on the stomach and Ive had mine for 5yrs. :(

Thank you so much for keeping me in ur prayers. Im glad to know Im not the only one out there with this concern of scar tissue and the damange the band might have done. Dont get me wrong, I have done well with it, Im just ready to get it out and move on with my life.

      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.
