IF the problem is so alarming then first thing you should do is to go for thyroidal checkup. If you get a negative on that then start a healthy diet regime with citrus fruits in the morning followed by raw vegetables and salads. Add them frequently in your snacking menu too. If you can go for a 20 minutes jogging everyday that would be highly beneficial else you can just walk for 4 miles a day. Start practicing yoga in the morning and follow this without any breaks.

Well the lap band just messed my stomach up and I like my doc it just couldn't be seen it is just discouageing. Heal is first then the bypass so 6 mo's from now if I remember from recovery I walk and eat right and lost on the band but bc of the problems it was causing is why I needed a resiovon just sad I thought I would be past this point. Not going to have to be in a holding pattern. I also have to belatedly not to gain and loose to much to change my bmi or could create a hole other can of worms

I can not imagine how disappointed you were. That was a big fear of mine that I would wake up and find they only took out the band and didn't do the RNY I have even dreamt of that happening before and after surgery. I pray your stomach heals so that you can have the RNY within six months. I know the waiting will be miserable. I wish I had a magic answer. It is just going to be tough. As hard as it is to hear things like this do happen for a reason. And your Doc deserves cudos for getting in there and seeing what was going on and making the call to let you heal from the band removal. There must have been some damage or he wouldn't have done that. So be thankful if you can that your Doc was so on top of it and that he doing this in two steps may prevent complications you would have had. Thinking of you.

      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. 🤞
