Hi! I am a wannabe banded! I'm in the process of waiting for approval from my insurance. I'm working against the clock because if I do get approved in time I want to get banded on 12-28-07 by Dr. Felts. Wish me well!

I also live in the Pasadena area. I don't think that I would be interested in going to a support group, but I would like to have someone to chat with about our experiences.

I had my surgery December 1, 2006 by Dr. Garth Brooks. My progress has been slower than I had expected, but I am still working toward my goal. I have lost 60 lbs in one year :clap2:. I have been really frustrated lately because the holidays made it difficult to keep on tract. I'm back on track now and will hopefully get to my goal weight by April.

      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.
