Recommended Posts

Hi everyone i finally got my band on April 30th. I got to come home May 1st with a 102 fever:sick . The Doc said it was from me being put to sleep. That my lungs just needed a little exercise. And just as he said I started walking and useing a breathing treatment and i have not had a fever higher than 99.2 since. Dr. Lin from Atlanta Ga was the greatest. Did anyone else has this problem with the fever or did any of you have diarrea after your surgery.

Thank

Stacy:p

Hi Katie nice to meet you. I really did like Dr. Lin. Did you also have yours done at crawford long hospital? I live in Cartersville Ga. Were do you live? I hope somewhere near by so we can be band buddies LOL. I'm 32 Wife and mother of one. My little girl is wonderful she is four going on sixteen or so she thinks HA HA. My little girl and my husband are the whole reason i did this. Because i want to live life with them not just sit back and watch them. I'm 5'8" starting weight 243lbs and now as of this morning i was 227lbs my BMI was 36.8. And i really needed to do this why i was young enough to loss some of the ricks of surgery. I have not had my band long but i already know i made the right choice for me!!!please keep in touch need all the support i can get.

I was banded on Tuesday, but fortunately didn't have any Nausea, I did have a some liquid BMs the 2nd day, but other than that, no GI problems. I also have some shoulder pain off and on also, but nothing plain tylenol.

Good luck on your journey!

      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.
