New question...I have had severe GERD since I was a teenager. Now 46 it is horrible. My primary was excited I am getting a lap band and says it should help the GERD alot. I was looking into the Linx band for GERD but have an issue with magnets in my body and it would not help my weight at all. Anyway I read about GERD and reflux being better and worse after lap band. What are your personal experiences?

I am scheduled for next Monday April 18th. Had my last appt pre-op with the doc today. All is on track and no issues. I am so ready but now the stress of the actual procedure is kicking in.

Day 2 post op and I am in pain but glad it's over. Bo complications other then they found a mass on the side of my stomach. They removed it and sent it pathology so we will see what that was about next week. I can't wait for the swelling and pain to go away.

Mass they removed is cancerous. Seeing an Gasyro-Oncology specialist next week but my regular doc assumes radiation only because it looks like the removed the entire mass. We will see. I am 11 days post op lap band and feeling much better. Eating bits of soft food and doing good. Concentrating on the weight-loss

      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.
