Recommended Posts

I know it's not alot of progress but I did the seminar in Sept and just did my consult and measurements today!

They scheduled my phsyc eval for 1/8.... After that I just have to wait till april when my dietitian appts will be complete... Such a long road but there will be an end I am sure. Every appt just makes it a little closer :scared:

All the "hoops" we have to go through are nothing when you think of the quality of life we're gaining!!

It took me seven months too, but the time really did fly (March to October) and luckily you have all the holidays to help the time whiz by.

Best of luck to you Brandy~

I had my consultation last week and it went terrific!

I don't have any co-mortalities (yet) so was told I could get banded within the next 30 days if I wanted. I just have to get financing in order since I am self pay. I can get my labs, dietitain and preop done all in the same week, then 2 week pre-op diet and I will be ready to go!

Hoping to get banded in late January. I wanted to be banded in late December but the hubby remided me that I have a few commitments that do not fit into a pre-op or soon after post-op way of life.

My hoops are getting smaller!!

It only took 7 & 1/2 months but I am scheduled for banding on Tuesday November 27th, 2007!

I have the sniffles. I live in a 'cold' state. Will this be enough for the doc to want to rechedule surgery? I hope not. Anyone?

      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.
