Got my band 12/4. 1st follow up 12/10. 1st Fill 12/26. So far, so good! I'm feeling great. Started at 265. Surgery day 257. Follow up 247. First fill 248. Wowwwwww only 1 pound after a holiday! I'm loving this. No pain, no pb; just learning to listen to my band.

I'm a Dec bandster as well. Sounds like you're really off to a great start.

For me: 12/16 was surgery date. 12/30 was 1st follow up and I lost 8 lbs! I don't receive my first fill till 6 weeks out 1/27 :(.

I was banded on 12/27 I don't have my first follow up til 1/14. My daughters had doctor appointments today so I decided to weigh myself and I'm done about 9 lbs. My heaviest weight was 284 surgery day I was 255 and today I'm 246. I'm a little disappointed I thought I would lose more especially after being in the hospital for 4 days with little to drink. But I guess just sitting or laying around isn't going to do much.

Congrats on the weight loss Millie!

Very good!

I was banded 12/19/13, I've lost 20 lbs so far just on the pre-op and post-op diet; in addition, I am walking 1 mile a day. Post-op visit with my surgeon today 1/7/14 and first-fill will be 1/17/14. So far so good, just tired of mushie foods.

Good luck to all! Happy 2014.

Banded 12/16. Down 21 lbs. first fill is 1/13. Tonight I ate quiche. Crust free. I thought I would be ok bc it's egg. It sat on my stomach like a brick. Tonight was the first time I have had an issues with something I ate. Actually had mild stomach pain. Never eating that again.

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

        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
