I am due to be banded September 28th in Dallas. I am so looking forward to feeling well again. I have Diabetes and I am hoping to have lots of energy again. Are any of you feeling better now that you have lost some weight?

Hello all, I am a September Bander too. Sept 6th, Dr Michael Storey, Pasedena TX.

You guys have to tell me how to put the tape measure on my reply to see how much weight I have lost and what my goal is. I lost 9 lbs pre op and I want to lose 125 total.

Hi All! Have just joined this site and having my surgery this week 13 Sept in Australia. So far Optifast is going well and am down from 120.4kg to 115.2kg so am feeling great about that. But still have moments of panic about the surgery... anyone else feel the same?

Missy,

I went to Ticker.com and created the ticker, but I can't seem to get it from there to place anywhere else. Can you help me?

Had my surgery on 9/4. Everything went great. No problems. Day 1 and 2 were the hardest and it wasn't that bad. By day 4 I was out walking and even drove(not supposed to until tomorrow) and walked around Walmart. Its been cake so far. I hope everyone's surgery goes as well as mine. I lost 13 lbs pre-op and just weighed this morning and I have lost almost 4 more. Good luck to everyone here! If you have ANY questions feel free to msg me!

You need to copy the ticker and paste it under your signature, maybe I am missing a step, anyone have any better suggestions??? Sorry, I don't know why it didn't work?:) There should be a code you have to copy. I had my surgery on the 6th. I am doing pretty good, was able to get up and walk around right after. I am already ready for this clear liquid phase to be over with, but, so far good!

      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. 🤞
