Going for my 2nd visit to my doctor tomorrow!



Recommended Posts

After tomorrow appointment, I will have just 2 more meets with my surgeons staff and surgery should take place in early January 2015. While I'm very excited about this, I do come upon some band horror stories. I keep telling myself that won't happen to me and I will get through the surgery fine. But it's always in the back of my mind. Wish me luck!

Good luck to you! Dont get too stressed about the horror stories! There are bad stories from every type of surgery. The way i looked at it when deciding to go with the band is it has the lowest risk. And complications are slim.. Just follow what your doctors tell you to do...there is some reasoning behind what they are asking of you. And ask plenty of questions!

      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.
