Recommended Posts

I'm finally going to be banded in a couple weeks!! I'm currently doing the pre op diet and with a little help from the Lord will meet my 10% weight loss requirement. Any advice help, or how much you all lost during pre op diet would be great

Congratulations! You will do well on your pre-op just stick to the instructions that your Dr. gave you and you should lose the required weight. I lost about 15 pounds on my pre-op and my husband lost 18.

My 10% is 26 pounds and she is determined that I can loose that much. I'm having a hard time, 12 more days to go! I'm very excited too Barb. I hope and pray the next 12 days go by very quickly.

I had to lose 5 percent during a 6 month supervised Drs visit, I lost considrably more, Than that, during the pre op diet I lost 18 pounds. I lost a total of 80lbs by the time I had my surgery but holding steady now and waiting for my 1st fill.

      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. 🤞
