I was banded on 9/24. before I had the surgery I thought I knew all about it. Now that I am in the middle of it I feel like I don't know anything. I lost about 20lbs the first week or so and now its been about 3 1/2 weeks and I have lost nothing else. I go to the Dr on the 30th and I am thinking I will get a fill. The truth is I am wondering if I am doing everything right.

My doctor says if I lose on average seven lbs a month I'm good. I've been going for my fills every two months and have my third fill this friday ;)

I'm scheduled for 2nd fill on 11/2. I know I'm sooo ready for it, as I'm getting hungry more often. I'm trying to pay closer attention to getting all my Water and Protein in, but the date cant come quick enough for me!!

I'm scheduled for my first fill on Nov. 1, 2007, a little nervous about it, but, I agree it can not come fast enough. It seems like I am back to eating almost as before I had the surgery, and that scares me even more than the fill does!!!!!

I was wondering if getting a fill is painful. I am going in on the 30th and hoping to get a fill then.

      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. 🤞
