Hi everyone

I am new here..joined yesterday and just getting used to navigating this site..thanks to the creator of this site...My lap band surgery is on 11/11 with Dr Ren in NYC...Am very confident in her and the procedure but it's all such a whirlwind...It's like I'm getting this much needed help to regain control of my life...Life is real good...great family ..wife ..2 kids..11 and 14...good job..all with issues but that's life..It's so wonderful to have this opportunity to get healthy and i just won't fail...Of course a little doubt but it won't get the best of me...I'm 49..weighed 302.5 yesterday..298.5 after 1 day on liquids ( I ate alot the last day) and I can't wait to get going..I gained over 120 lbs since age 21 and I want to get back to near that point...I really want to be healthy and be able to give more to my family...Food really weighs you down in so many weighs...

Anhyway..just wanted to say hi and would love to share experiences with fellow bandsters...

Welcome to the group. Congratulations on your surgery. Dr. Ren is supposed to be one of the best. I believe she and her partner Dr. Fielding speak at all the training sessions that Inamed has for doctors in our area.

      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.
