I was banded last Friday, Nov. 5. Today is my first day back at work. So far, so good. I would have stayed home longer but my computer went on the fritz and I couldn't log on to this site, LOL!!! I didn't have any choice but to come back to work! Missed you guys! :)

Wow, that was fast! As long as you don't get too tired, if you see you are, make it a short day. What do you do? I found myself getting tired after a half day, and I cut it short for a while. I am addicted to this board too, I am always up here and getting caught by the boss. I wish it was on my computer in my office.

You two are TOO funny! Your job should be grateful that LBT motivated you to get back to work sooner! What dedication! (NOT)

Betty, I am an administrative secretary. I am fortunate that I do get to have this site on the computer in my office.

I'm serious, ya'll! I really did have to come back early so I could log on! Is there a pill for this???? LOL!

Sorry, Blossom, it will only get worse as time goes on. Pretty soon, your skinny DH will be threatening to get a band and a computer just so you'll talk to him.:cry

Hi, WillPower! Yeah, things really are getting back to normal for me. Nearly all of my soreness is gone, I can even sneeze with no pain! Today, I am wearing pants that I truly thought I would not get to wear again. However, my appetite is returning with a vengence. I am still on softs, but I can eat a lot. I am hoping when I add some solids I won't be able to eat so much. Other than that, I feel great!!!

I'm glad you're feeling so well. Please do not worry about how much you are eating. Until you get a fill, you might get hungry, you might be able to eat just as much as before, and you might even gain weight. Don't sweat it. I know you know that already, but it bears repeating because it is so easy to get impatient in those early weeks.

Nancy

      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.
