Welcome Betty, you have posted some interesting messages tonight. If you have been looking into lapband for some time now, I am suprized you called it "an elastic" in an earlier post. Where are you from? Do you have access to a surgeon, with knowledge of the band?

Hi, and welcome.

I'm not sure I understand your message, but would like to help if I can. Do I read correctly that you are trying to gain 75 kilos? Why? Is that to reach some kind of weight minimum your provider/surgeon requires?

Hi wheetsin i think you've replied to me instead of fat4lyfe, what i think Betty was trying to say is that her aim is to be 75kgs not gain it.:rose: lol.

Hi Betty! I remember being where you are in the process. Took me 5 years to commit to doing it and it is a decision I do not regret. It took me that amt of time to really decide that I was ready to do what was necessary to be successful with the surgery in changing my attitude toward food and my eating habits. I hope you will continue to think about it. It has changed my life! Given it back actually!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
