WELCOME.

You're starting a wonderful journey - and remember... we sometimes have smooth bumps and bruises along our Lap Band journeys. But every one that you see on this forum (all those who are post-op) have survived it.

It's OK to be wary, but there is no reason to be frightened... because even those of us who had a little or a big issue - lived to tell about it.

Unfortunately, that's not always true of all Weight Loss Surgeries, but it's very true about LapBanding.

So - you have chosen a wonderful tool that is respected worldwide for it's ability to deliver us from obesity to normal-weight.

And it does it without having to re-section or re-route our intestines.

So good luck and enjoy your journey.

You'll do fine!

Hey banster boy it is good to see you. I am sorry to hear about the infection but we will have to just pray on that and watch it heal.

Well, where are the numbers, how much have you lost?

      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.
