Does anyone else have the AP Band? I was told that's what I have. No fill yet.

I believe that is the one that I have. My surgeon merely said that I have the newer model (sounds like a car, doesn't it?!). According to him, the only restriction that I have is from the band being in place.

Alright, I finally got a true before and after pic. I am not sure how to make them smaller so bear with me. The before pic was taken at my heaviest and the other pic was taken today by my new computer. I can really tell a difference in my eyes. This is 10 days post band. So here goes nothing!!

wow, you look like a totally different person! You've done really well. I see it in your cheeks too. Plus the hair looks fabulous.

Pictures for the web should be no more than 75 dpi (low resolution)=smaller

a good guide is to keep them at no more than 400 pixels wide. If you have a software to make them smaller you can input the size. Probably the software that comes with your camera, or Photoshop

      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. 🤞
