So as suspected I found out I have a leak. Who does this happen to? Me that's who. I go in on Monday and find out if they can find it but unfortunately it looks like I am going to have surgery again. Booooo. I am so sad, good news is that even though I am at a stand still with losing weight and have had this horrible set back, I continue to lose inches and can see the results of my new lifestyle (working out, smaller portions). I am down pretty much fifty pounds from 229 lbs. to 181 lbs. I work out 5 days a week and feel better than I have in years. I hope this is a temporary hick up and I will still succeed. Maybe I will do better than originally because I believe my band never worked quite like it should have. Wish me luck on Monday. Sorry so long of a paragraph, just had a lot I wanted to share. I attached a pic of my progress in the last 10 months of my life with the band.

Oh man! U look HOT! And the band never worked at its full capacity so u've done this mostly on your own. Ur doing just as awesome without it.

Are they going to give u a new band? Or repair the old one?

If i cld do it again, id try the sleeve instead.

Well all has passed and it was a leak in the port. I had surgery the day after Christmas. It was not as bad as the initial surgery. I got a really bad stomach bug a week later but all seems to be going well as of now. My Dr. Filed my bad to 3cc during surgery and I am going to see him in a week. I am already feeling restriction that I hadn't felt in a long time. I am down to 180.1lbs. as of this morning. Yay! To sickness. Lol.

      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. 🤞
