Hello All!!! Greetings from beautiful, cold Ohio!

I will have my surgery on December 27th, and I can't wait!!!!

Just like many others.. I've been on diets all my life. I loose weight, then I start to feel hungry, and just want to feel full...and one thing leads to another.. then I figure that it's just not worth a diet.

I'm an elementary school teacher, and will be banded over Christmas break... and haven't told anyone about the surgery. I can't wait for my Gift of a new start... Health!!!

I need to loose 80 pounds to reach my goal. I'm rather big boned.. *yeah.. I know what you are thinking... but I am .. really**

Anyway.. I've been reading many posts, and soooo much has been helpful. My husband and I even discuss some of the posts.

Keep all that great information coming..

Big Huggs to everyone!

You'll do great and you'll love Dr. C.

I just adore him and wouldn't trust my band with anyone else. I was self pay so I have lots invested, over 20k's cash so far and he's topnotch.

I have lost 80 the first year and need to loose another 40 so you'll be at goal in no time.

Hugs,

Sherri

Wow, beachgirl. 80 pounds is fantastic! I know you both look and feel like a million bucks. I can not wait until I can make that statement...80 pounds lost.

I am scheduled for banding on Jan 24, 2008. I wish I could do it tomorrow, but Jan 2008 is better for me.

I need to lose 115 pounds.

Jazzywoman, you and I are in the same boat. I, too, am looking to my band as a Christmas gift to myself (even though I will received the band one full month after Christmas).

I see this band as one of the best things I will have done for myself.

2008 promises to be an exciting and POUND-LOSING year for me.

LOL!!!

Hello All,

I'm here in Delaware by way of New York .

I just joined the website, but I have been "listening in" for awhile. My date is scheduled for Dec. 19th., two days before my birthday and I can't wait. I have tried so many other diets also, and have lost, but re-gained what I lost and then some. Hopefully, this will be what I needed. I have a lot to lose but I will take it one day at a time.

Hey Jazzy! I'm getting banded on the 27th also! Wasn't sure if there would be too many of us on that date considering it's a Saturday. Merry Christmas to us and an EXCITING NEW YEAR AHEAD!!! WOOHOO!!!! only 2 weeks out, I can't believe it. :rolleyes2: Are you doing a pre-op diet?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
