Best Wishes to all NEW Banders this week!



Recommended Posts

Hey all.....

Today marks my 10 day bandiversary. And, I am here to tell you that it doesn't take long to get back to feeling good! And, possibly even better than good! Although I still have tinges of discomfort, I feel like the weight of facing a life of obesity has been lifted off of my shoulders. It's a peaceful feeling. It definitely overrides any discomfort or pain or inconvenience.

Good Luck to all who are getting banded this week and I hope everyone who is recuperating is doing well!!!

I go for my first follow up dr appt tomorrow.....can't wait to MOVE MY TICKER!!!! Wonder how much I lost......! Can't wait to see!!!

We are all in this together! Judi

Judi -- I am impressed!! You're a better woman than I if you can wait until the doctor's to weigh!!! If I weight any more, I'm gonna have to put rechargeables in my scale or get an AC adapter.

But it's okay -- I've hated them for so many years -- it's nice to actually ENJOY getting on them for a change!

I'll be watching for your ticker tomorrow!

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
