No feeling of restriction at 2 months



Recommended Posts

Just for a week. I decided to have my surgery last week. I had band removal and hiatal hernia repair scheduled for June 26. In the mean time I had a gallbladder attack, and decided to add that to the list! At my pre-op appt, my Dr asked why I still had not considered the sleeve. I told him I did, but I'd have to pay cash, and did not have the amount they quoted a year ago. He called his patient advocate, who called around and quoted me a significant lower price. I was recently diagnosed with Diabetes, so I decided to add the sleeve.

I have been thinking of getting the sleeve for several years, but did not think I could afford it.

Very nervous about getting the procedure after all the negative stories for people that have had band to sleeve. I'm so hungry on the liquids after an hour! Praying the Sleeve will give me restriction!

I just want this band out too! It causes so much discomfort!

I hope you are a success story! ????

I'm 5 days out and can drink lots of liquid too. Top that off with only a 3 pound loss since surgery, and that really scares me!

I am so glad someone posted this. According to my food plan I should be eating between 400 to 600 calories on week 4. I can eat a peach, no problem. I can take 16 oz Protein Drink no problem. It takes me longer to eat now but I can pretty much eat anything. I am trying to be careful to eat the right foods. I don't really feel hungry but I can usually tell when I need to 31st by my tummy growling a bit. I am worried at how much I can eat

      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. 🤞
