If you research the fielding, you will discover back several years ago they had a relationship with allergen who produces one of the bands. He was a fan of the band.. I went to Lennox hill and they were more straight up regarding what's the real deal with the band

Just to add I had an odd feeling you were having one of the NYU doctors when you said they were pushing lapband.

Wow!! I'm set to go soon so probably too late to change Dr's. But towards the end he started telling me the band would be better. That I'd gain all the weight back if I do the sleeve. Too bad for them I did my research. Have you already have surgery?

No I go to the Roslyn one and they're amazing . Mine is Dr. Angstadt . I just finished my 6 months and they submitted my paperwork last week so I am waiting to hear back for approval but my tentative date is June 15th and everyone in their office is so nice and encouraging . And I did my sleep study at their office . Did you just start your process ?

Are you allowed food, food or like veggies? I can have lettuce, spinach, tomatoes and a few other low starch veggies. But only 2 cups. This is the 2nd day and so far so good.

Maybe no weight-loss, maybe inches? Or muscle gain from gym?

I have my 3 of 3 for pre-op visits today. tis is my last meeting with the surgeon before JUNE 1st. I'll mention that my weight has not moved since 4/29, I think ill be ok since I cant loose that 1bmi point that is keeping me above 40 until after surgery. Oh I may have missed it in this thread, is your surgery date still the same?

Yep still the same date. Did pre-op last week. Man what I wouldn't give for one small meal. I got weighed yesterday, but it wasn't very accurate so I'm going to weigh Friday and see if anything has moved.

You shouldn't be scared and the psych and nutritionist there is so nice. And their psych really doesn't ask that much.

I think depending on your BMI and they're not looking for any major weight loss during your pre-op diet they just want to cut down the amount of fact that you're eating

      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.
