February 2007 bandsters!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone! I had my surgery this morning. I'm doing fine so far. Just feels like someone hit me hard in the stomach... Just Sore! I haven't had any gas pain yet... I hope they don't come later! Seems like I would have them by now. I had my surgery around 9:00 A.M. One advise I would give is not to wear a real nice shirt, because my incisions drained a little and got on my shirt in several places. I never really got that nervous. They kept me busy at the surgery center.... GOOD LUCK to all of you future bandsters.

Hi Feb Bandsters, I had my surgery on Friday Feb 2nd. I had a pretty rough time with the anasthetic and was in hospital for two days. My insisions are very tender and i have been having the shoulder tip pain, but I was able to laugh with my nephews this morning.

My surgeon was really happy with my pre surgical weight loss with the Optifast, and he told me my liver was in really good shape, and that the operation went smoothly.

Hope you are all well.

      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.
