Banded June 3rd! Delayed about 1 week due to the band restriction right from the start. Had too much swelling post op and couldn't keep any liquids down. Hospitalized for 3 nights and 3 days on IV for dehydration and steroids for inflammation. Came home June 9 to start Clear Liquids again. Had my 1 week post op appt today and they said I can move to full liquids and then maybe by Monday I can finally start soft foods-mushies. I gained about 11 lbs since day of surgery from the IV fluids, I am super swollen everywhere.

Anyway, I am good to go now and over that road block. Looking forward to eating/living with the band.

Welcome to all Juners!

Hey GBB

Are you going through True Results?

I liked the Dr. But wished I seen him more.

You deal with others until about a week before..then a group meeting with the Dr and others having surgery . I actual liked this because other people may have questions that you haven't thought.

Went to San Antonio for lapband. Dr was great and staff. They paid for the stay at a nice hotel and gave us a 50$ gas card. Everything they said to me about pricing and everything never changed. I go Monday for my first fill. I'm happy with my decision and happy I chose True Results.

Keep in touch.

      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
