Any November Bandsters



Recommended Posts

Hi I got my band November 10/15. Best decision I ever made wish I had done it years ago. I thought I had the

chewing down pat but not good enough. I learned that peas don't go down well unless you chew then chew more.

I noticed that I am not hungry in the night. Which is a bonus. And I fill up on very little food.

I had my first fill Jan 2/16. I did not notice any change yet.

Would love to hear from other November Bandsters.

Hi. I got my band on November 9th. I feel it was the best decision I made also. So far I've had two fills. My appetite has been suppressed tremendously. The problems I face are eating slow and chewing my food. Years of eating one way...I know it will take time to recondition my brain. Good luck with your journey!

I had a second fill and it was to much. It took a few hours after the fill and could not get even a tsp of Water down. I could not get some taken out till the next afternoon. Now I think I will be good for a while.

Yes it is really hard to retrain the brain to eat slower and chew chew chew. I find I am not hungry if I start the day out will powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein but if I miss it I feel hungry all day.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
