Hello, I am due to be banded on oct. 12 2007. My doctor is Kenneth Hollis out of houston texas. I was cruising the net trying to find out more information on the procedure and I found this forum. I am quite impressed so far! As I am going through last minute reservations this is just what I needed to quell some of my fears.

Hi! I will be banded on the 15th. Good luck to you. From what I have read, it seems that a lot of us have some sort of reservations. Mine is just that I am sure I will miss food!! LOL We are starting a new faze of our lives. Good luck!

Hello everyone,

I was looking to join a support group, but the ones in my area weren't doing much, so I thought I'd search on the web and I found this site! (yay).

So far I've lost about 20 lbs, but I've stopped losing now because I need to go have my first fill. That is scheduled for Oct. 17th. Looking forward to it!

Well so far, it's been well worth it. I've had a few issues, mainly pain at the port sight a week after surgery, but I'm happy to announce that's all but gone now. The BIG issue now is the bathroom issue. (as in, I can't be more than 20 feet from one at any given time.) I'm not sure what's going on, but if anyone has any ideas or similar experiences please let me know! Other than that, I'm super happy to be banded and am looking forward to my fill. I'll keep you guys posted. Good luck on your surgery!

I'm new to this forum. Can someone tell me how to get

started? How do I set up my stats, etc.

Hi,

You can get your ticker at TickerFactory.com, the glitzy name at GlitterMaker.com then all you need to do is go to UserCP at the top of this screen and edit your signature. Paste your links into the signature and voila. :biggrin1:

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
