Hey Erica I
Also went from band to sleeve it's only been 3 weeks and I've had a few issues but have lost 15 kilos so far . How have you been ? Are you much happier with the sleeve than the band ?

Hi there..
I've never had the band I've just got the banded sleeve which is the sleeve with a minimiser ring.
I lost my weight quite quick as I was considered a low BMIer to begin with. So far it's all been ok although I'm still learning how to eat slow lol
My health has improved as in my bp is better and everything seems to be normal.
How are you feeling?...
what issues have you had if you don't mind me asking?...

Ahh ok sorry thought you went from band to sleeve like
I did
Yes I'm having trouble eating slowly and also not drinking with meals and waiting the 1/2 am hour !
Because mine was from band to sleeve I had more scar tissue and the operation was longer so I took longer to recover . I have had diarrhoea since the first day and gurgling on my left side under my rib . I have also been hospitalised for dehydration and low blood pressure which was a week ago . Also had one of my sites infected and needed to go on antibiotics so yeah it's been a bit of a challenge so far . I have another week off from work as I still feel low in energy and need to get a handle on my hydration and eating schedule . Can I be cheeky and ask
How much weight you have lost ? I have lost 15 kilos so far but stayed at 134 kilos so a long long way to go

      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
