Yesterday made three years I've been banded. I can't believe how quickly time has flown by. I am below goal, I don't count calories anymore, I do watch what I eat because I don't want to get stuck. Life below goal is AWESOME!!!!

Same here...3 years coming up, don't worry about calories either...just learned to eat right....

Below goal also...way y Dr. explains it...if you are truly living the new life with the band, and not dieting, then your body will self adjust to your new ways of eating - living...it will return to where it should be...NORMAL!

Congratulations...enjoy your new life after the weight loss phase...it's indescribable, isn't it...

Yes B-52 it is. It is really amazing how this band works. I'm like you, I can't overeat if I tried. If I forget and eat quickly, the band does what it's supposed to do. I'm still losing inches even though I'm not trying. Life is totally grand!!! Thank you.

Three years for me on Dec 22nd. I hit the gym 3 times per week & have a good grip on Portion Control. I don't count calories, but indeed I do watch my carbs. I love me & feeling very blessed. 103lbs down. Holla!!!

      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.
