Recommended Posts

I am having surgery tomorrow oct 2nd and am ready for this. Thankfully I am not nervous but just excited to get this done and over with. The prayer request that I do have is for my parents. I pray they aren't too nervous waiting while i'm in surgery...I know that waiting can be tough.

Lord, I pray for all of us Oct. bandsters. I am praying for a surgery without complications. I pray each of us have a calmness and peace before surgery and feel your presence with us...knowing you Lord know all things and are with us at all times. Also Lord i pray each of us are receptive to this new change in our life and have a successful journey with it. In all things, we believe and trust in you. In your precious and hold name amen.

Love and Blessing to us all!

Thank you so much for your words! I am being banded tomorrow also and as excited as I am there is also nervousness as well. That's why I'm up surfing when I should be asleep!

As I was reading the posts for people being banded this first couple of days I found myself getting so nervous for us all. I am not banded until next week, but it seems so close. Surgery is scary... But after reading the prayer- I had a little boo-hoo and feel better. Bless you all- we will be great.

amen, yes God is with each and every one of us. He will hold us in his arms and keep us safe if we let him. I know God will be with me tomorrow Oct 3 as I go to surgery, just as he is with me everyday and night. God is my savior. Amen

Amen, and AMEN! The Lord desires a full and healthy life for us, and He will bless each and every one as we walk in faith towards His desire for us. When you get scared or weary - take a moment of stillness and let Him comfort you. In ALL things praise His name. Thank you Lord!

      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.
