I have not had my band yet but I am getting a little scared. I was doing a endosleeve trial with my band doctor for three months. I didn't get the device and didn't lose any wait but the nurse said that others without the device lost 30 lbs and that diet and exercise works. She made me feel like a failure for wanting to get the band so I held off. I am in limbo right now. Can anyone give me any advice. Does anyone regret having the band?!?!

Please help?!?!?:help::think:omg::help:

Hey, Dont let her make you feel like a failure. I have No regrets getting the lap band. It has helped me start living a normal life, I have lost 45 lbs and I feel so much better, I no longer take pills for high cholestorol, or for high blood pressure. I am more active in my life. Now this was in no way easy, It has taken lots of work. You can do it though if you put your mind to it! :whoo:

5'1" 195 was my highest and I was squeezing into size 14 pants. Skirts and dresses were all size L from stores like banana Republic, Gap, Ann Taylor.

I just bought a size 12 winter coat that fits comfortably! I am going to wait until I lose more before I start buying more clothes.

      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. 🤞
