Hey guys i'm new here and have my surgery set for April 11th. I'm really excited but really nervous too. My Doctor is Dr. Beltre and my surgery is at Florida Hospital Celebration- I went to my nutrition class today and it seems like it is going to be really hard but, I ready. I have the support of my husband and family so that is good. I can't wait to read about everyone and get better insite into what is getting ready to happen in my life.

Hi! Welcome to LBT! There is a great thread going strong with all of you April 07 bandsters. It is called April 2007 head start on Spring or something like that. if you go to the search key and type in April, it will bring up all threads with that in them....scroll down and you will find it. They are a great group---and will welcome you! It is so nice to have a group of people all banded about the same time you are, so you can compare and commiserate!!! It was a great thing for me to have the April 06 group. We are keeping up with the new 07 group---hoping you guys have as great of an experience as we did!!!

We are glad you found the site!!! Good luck on your surgery!

KCQ,

Hi ...I am having surgery the same day but in ca....I am a little nervous but a good nervous I think. My nutrition class is not until the day before the surgery. I hope there is not a lot of things to buy, so I have been looking online for what others have been doing. I am sure that everything will be wonderful.......

      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.
