Thanks LapBandTalk for your support these last few weeks as I prepare for surgery Tuesday. I havent posted much, talked with Michelle who intoroduced me to this site. I JUST found out today about the las Vegas trip this weekend...sheesh! need to come back here more often to get the party dates before they're over!

I've made it through almost 2 weeks of protien shakes. My surgury will be at 7am in Laguna Beach, South Boast Hospital with Dr. Quebbemann.

Again, I've sure enjoyed the posts and support here.

Anita, you're just a year younger than me. Get ready for a wonderful change in your life! You are going to get out there and be able to do things that you haven't done in years! You and your family will enjoy the "new, improved" healthier you! Sending (((hugs))) and prayers for an uneventful surgery and minimum pain recovery period.:D

Make sure you come back to the board more often after your surgery. It sure helps to have someone to talk to about all the changes. Hope your surgery is easy and your recovery is quick. :D

Good Luck and best wishes Anita. And I agree, come back here often, it helps me stay on track, and continues to educate and reassure me as I begin my journey. I'm 19 days out of surgery, doing really well, only minimally tender now, and down 15 pounds!

      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.
