Laura,

Congrats on your weight loss and LapBand!!! Happy to hear the strap isn't bugging you as much. I don't even know I'm wearing mine anymore, but at first it was always slipping and I even got a painful blister the first day I wore it.

I'm being banded in a few weeks, June 24th! Still waiting in that pesky insurance approval. Its cutting close and making me nervous...so we may have to wait a bit, who knows. Hopefully not. Its my PCP, she wants to talk to me before she sends her letter and not "do this on a whim"....I talked to her in January about it and again in March, she was not supportive but agreed that if I wanted it I should do it. Not only that I've been to so many Dr appointments, support groups, psych consult, nutritionist appointments...its frustrating to think I would be doing this "on a whim" and be lectures by a 120 pound woman on nutrition as if she can understand. She can't get me in until next week...so I'm worried it won't be in time.

Sorry if thats TMI.

Lori

Lori,

Have you talked to your lapband office about your late appt? Maybe they can work with you to keep on schedule. I was a self pay so I didn't have to jump through any hoops. Dr Kirshenbaum in Denver did my consults over the phone. And the nutritionist did as well. It was a problem free, easy process. Of course it cost me $10,000. But it was well worth it. I hope things start to roll easier for you. Good luck.

Okay, I'm having a minor problem with my bodybugg and was wondering if anyone else had this happen. Usually when I take my bodybugg off (for like 30 minutes or whatever) then put it back on, later when I upload my calories burned, it usually tells me that I wasn't wearing the bodybugg for X amount of time and ask me if I was inactive or if I burned the same amount as a previous day. Well, it hasn't even been noticing when I'm not wearing it. The box doesn't pop up anymore. Anyone else had this problem?

If you go swimming and take your bugg of is there a way to log that as calories burned?

Georgia girl, that has only happend when I've had it off for more than 30 mins also. If it doesnt pop up that means it is still calculating your calories burned.

      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. 🤞
