I am scheduled to be banded on April 3rd, I am excited and nervous at the same time. Scared because I seen the pain in my coworker after her surgery. I am taking 9 days off from work to be comfortable in my home.

Praying you do great. I'm set for 1 week from today. I'm nervous, but determined. I've heard that if you get up and walking as soon as possible, the pain is not as bad.

Thank you! I am counting down the days. And getting excited about being active in the summer. Especially since moving to Texas, I am so ready to take advantage of the activities around here.

I live in Texas to and the heat is something else. I was banded 03/10/14 and I'm looking forward to not having to spend my summer covered up in stifling hot cloths. Good luck.

That's my biggest reward. I cannot wait to be comfy in shorts. I actually wore shorts for the first time since I was 13 this past summer because it was so darn hot here.

      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.
