Hi Sramundo. Welcome.. I just joined about an hour ago.. most of the people here are soo helpful and sweet.

I honestly thought I'd be fending off nay-sayers.. (I had to go out of country to approve my lapband becaus I'm not over the BMI or whatever for the US... long story)... But actually, people have been very honest, and sweet here.. They have alot to offer... You're gonna love it.

Hello. I was banded by Synchrony Health ( Dr. Mobley) on Aug. 17, 2007. So far, a great experience. Can't wait to get to know all of you and share our experiences.

So glad to have someone from Synchrony Cincy banded in August - are you having any problems? I hope to be banded early November not sure which doctor I will have. I have become so down on myself mainly due to weight issues and think I have tried every diet and gimick out there. Can't wait to hear your progression and comments along the way.

I have had no problems at all. Have you had a consultation yet? Have you been to a seminar? They are very helpful. I look forward to getting to know you better.

I'm so glad to hear you haven't had any problems. I attended seminar last week and have appointment with lap band doc next Tuesday the 16th. Insurance does not cover so I am taking some from savings and borrowing some - it's so hard to justify this amount of money at this age but I've already had a hip replacement so I have to do something.

      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.
