Hello, Checking in to see how the Oct 6th banders are doing? I did well and just got home last night. I stayed overnight as all of our WLS patients do. I am sore as crazy, but it's getting better each day. I can't wait for all this pain to go away. I am not hungry, but have had a few sips of chicken broth, Protein Drink and a popsicle. I had to drink 3 medium sized cups of Water and applejuice before I left hospital!!! Wow. I was a little depressed day of surgery, but it was all the meds I was on...Now, I'm in great mood, just taking it easy and trying to walk around and take breathing exercises in that thing. LOL It was a great experience, but the nurses call was really slow or a no show..I wasn't too happy yesterday with the hospital's room service with some. Others were great...Nice hosptial room of my own!!!!

I would say, just listen to what you have to do is the most important thing one day at a time..I'm happy to get it done.

Congrats to all oct. banders past few days and good luck to rest of this week. I will do my best to hang around here for yrs to come as part of my support grp..It was awesome to hear from last year's October banders. I will do same next year as part of my 1 yr celebration- cheer on.

      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.
