Sounds typical....I'm glad your Dr. is practical and did not get upset about you not losing weight before the band actually starts to do it's job, and realizing it is about healing and getting back to normal at this point...after an adjustment or 2 things will begin to change and your journey will begin in earnest.......my Dr. and I both agree, if I could loose weight by dieting without the band, why go through all the surgery in the first place....

Debbie, Debbie, Debbie...Thanks so much for posting this! I was starting to think I wasn't doing so hot as I haven't really lost any weight. I am glad to read that this time after the band has been placed is all about the healing. Thanks also for describing the appointment in detail, I was worried about what my first fill would be like. I'm so happy to know that it won't be as terrible as I was thinking. I'm a big baby when it comes to needles also. Thanks again!

You are so welcome!! It makes me feel great to know that I can help someone else with this journey! This was the reason I started my blog posts. I couldn't find anything out there that explained in detail the good, the bad and the ugly of the lap band lifestyle. I am hoping by sharing my experiences that along with helping me understand my thoughts and feelings, I can assist others with this great adventure we have chosen...lol

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
