I finally got my date!! January 11, 2016! It seems like I have been battling the band for so long. And in just a couple weeks I will be free!!!

Free at last!!! I'm hoping and praying that everything goes ok and that the surgery will be a success. Super nervous but VERY VERY excited at the same time!

I will accept any and all advice that yall can give me!! And if there are any January peeps out there that need a buddy Im available!! :)))

Very happy for you! Congrats!! I too, am hoping for a revision to the sleeve. I got my band in 2008, then a revision due to slippage in 2013. Not sure if I will be able for the conversion to the sleeve. :( I want to be free of my band too!!

Thank u!!! Good luck to you too!!! The band is terrible!!! Wish I would've done sleeve first but at the time it was the safest procedure to get pregnant with.

      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.
