Well I guess it went well, he didn't say anything that I din't already know. He said it will probably be the end of January for my surgery. Only because I need to get the approval from insurance:rolleyes: Please keep your fingers crossed for me. See ya all @ the next support group.:)

Hi All, I was banded in Mexico and doing pretty well. I sure am glad to find there is a group out there for support. I can't seem to get my schedule to fit with the support group but I would love to get together some time. I walk the Valley Mall on a regular basis. It would be nice to have someone else to share with.

Kaelin's G-ma,

It's great to hear from another bandster. I also live in the valley. Our next meeting is on Tuesday January 8th. If you would like to carpool with us you are welcome to join us.

How are you doing since your banding? And where do you go for your fills? Just curious.

Hey Lisa,

Good luck with your fill on the 3rd, I am having mine on the 4th. Drop me a line and let me know how you did, and how much he gave you. I hope it gives me restriction cause I am able to eat entirely too much.

Happy New year,

Ari

I can't believe you two are getting fills. Let us know how it goes. My postop appt went well. I was down 15. WOW. Would love to see that continue to go that fast. But doubt it will. I will be thinking of you for your fills. Don't forget you can always come see me at my office in the school across the street. I would love a visitor.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
