Hi. Banded 2008. Lost a bit but mainly just not put on any more. Joined some Facebook groups, now this today. Have learnt so much that was never told to me when I had my band! Amazing! I feel like I need to start again with fresh knowledge. Doing the 5 day pouch test from today and just watched the 8 golden rules vids. My band prob too tight if anything. I have learnt to eat easy stuff that slips down and regularly make myself sick when I've eaten too fast or the wrong thing...then carry on eating junk. I'm starting again with new eyes and fresh advice. Looking for someone to fill me in on modern thinking and to encourage each other when times are tough. Local is good, we could meet up, but I'm open to worldwide online buddies too.

Exciting new world of how to actually work with my band!

      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. 🤞
