Recommended Posts

Getting banded this Friday, 9/24th!!! Excited and nervous at the same time!!! But...cannot wait!!!

Hope to join you in Vegas next year at this time!

There are so many things I am looking forward to when I lose my weight....but mainly is being healthy again!!!

My "wish list":

***#1 is to get rid of all or most of my meds!!! I am TOO young!

***to look in a mirror and not be ashamed a the person staring back at me

***to run with my Grandkids (when I have them)

***to be able to take a shower and reach ALL the nooks and crannies! (don't laugh...you know exactly what I mean!)

***to be able to go to see a movie and actually fit in the seat

***to walk into a restaurant and not have to request a table...actually be able to FIT in a booth

***be able to walk from my car to a store and not lose my breath

***to be able to dial UP the heat in the winter

***to shop in a "regular" size clothing store

ONE STEP AT A TIME.....we'll be there in no time!

Not knowing your personal feelings about this, I'll pray for an uneventful surgery, swift recovery and satisfying results, if you approve, of course!

Congrats. I haven't been banded yet, but I'll give this advice:

Celebrate each victory, no matter how trivial! Just don't Celebrate with seconds of anything except Water.

Nancy, good luck on your banding! You better start adding to that list, because you'll be marking all of those things off sooner than you expect. Then you'll need something else to do!:D

Sending you the very best wishes and thoughts and prayers.

I am so happy for you.

Do something special for yourself today to help you relax. How bout a pedicure? That will relax you and pass the time and on top of that your toes will look so cute in the Hospital.

Hugs

Hi, new Michigan bander.

Good luck on your banding I know that you wil find that it is the best thing you may have ever done. I was banded June 29, 2004 and have had two fills now and will have the third one on Oct, 4th. So far I have lost weight and have now believe that I may have reached my sweet spot as I can now tell when I have had enough to eat and no bad experiences.

Good Luck again.

Dave T.

      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.
