You have to know that caloires do count even with this help we have in the band. You need to walk. Its not easy it is work. But it is worth it.

Date:April 7,2004

Who did the banding: Dr. Lusco

Where was it done :Cartias Hosptail in Louisville Ky

My starting weight was: 290lbs

My weight now is: 190lbs

I need to lose: 30lbs

I have todate 2 1/2 cc

I have no complants so far and would do it again.

How do I get the measure on the bottom of my page.

Hey, Peg leg: You were banded the day after me. OK the comparison thingy mentioned in the Homework thread comes into play now.

Banded 1 day apart.

I weighed 6 lbs more at the beginning.

Peg lost 100lbs

I have lost 56lbs.

Everyone is different. STOP comparing yourselves guys.

      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.
