I didn't think it was that bad. Omg awful. Now I have to start my 7 months before I can get the surgery. So depressing

Having to wait is always hard but just think there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there you will do great and good luck.

Yea my doctor told me there are a lot more bands coming off than going on right now. He is doing a lot of revision surgeries for people.

My Dr says they are getting away from them. Is it a major back issue that you need surgery?

It's spinal fusion I've been living with this back pain for way to long and it gets so bad sometimes I can't get out of bed so I'm ready to get it fixed.

Oh that's terrible. I hope you get it done soon so you're not in pain anymore

They told me once I get healed up from the back I should get to schedule my Sleeve

I am so depressed with my weight gain and I've been going to the gym for small group training and Barre class. So I'm a toned fat person lol
