Nice job.

What were/are your stats? How long did it take you to lose the weight? and how long have you kept it off?

Congrats...you look awesome!

You look amazing! So did you stick to low carb- exercise? did you lose it over one year or several years?

That's awful they wouldn't give you fills! I have never heard of such.

Congrats.

I am new on here and don't know how to reply to an individual. Yes, low carb, because my band won't let me eat breads. And I do work out five times a week. Yes, they wouldn't give me a fill a couple of times, and that was very frustrating. They told me they wanted me to do it on my own a little longer, blah blah, finally I went in a had a different guy that gave me my final fill and I lost the last 40lbs.

When you got the final fill- how was it? did you just know - that was it? do you PB a lot? I have had numerous fills and just never have gotten to that point yet.

You look great.

I'm almost four years out from being banded as well. I've gained back about 20 lbs. from where I was most comfortable, but surprisingly, I've heard from others that I look better with a little more meat on my bones. I'm working on losing at least 10 of those 20 lbs. That should make me feel better about where I am.

I was happy to ready your time frame as I am in my 7th month and still have only lost 10 lbs as you have said your Dr was slow to give you fills so is mine. I find when I exercise I am staving and then eat to fast and sometimes get stuck. It really is a learning tool to use over a long period of time.

My stats? I'm guessing what I weighed? I went from 265 size 22-20 to 155 size 8-10. It took a long time, because they wouldn't give me fills sometimes. Over a year.

      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.
