Well folks, it is done!!!!! All went well, I also got the new band. Just resting at home now. Some shoulder and upper abdominal discomfort but I'll live. Was real groogy after I came home. Today I am much better. I can't believe after so many years of trying I finally got it done.

Thunderwheels - Congrats and welcome to band land - each day you will feel better - i was back to work (deskjob) by day 6 and I have a few years on you...The tool (band) does work as long as you make healthy food choices and exercise (imho this is key)...

This is a GREAT site for support...

Kacee, glad you enjoyed. Nothing like a prime cut of meat. Now we can take focus off quantity and we can increase quality. Whenever I do start to eat again I plan to focus on quality foods. May cost more but now I need a lot less.

Well, just about 2 months out now and I am holding at about 30lbs +-. I get my second fill today and I could use it. I feel as if I have no restriction at all. I had a 16 oz steak on my birthday (back to the steak thing again) and experienced no problem with it at all. Matter of fact, I have had no problem with foods at all. No pb's, no slimes, nothing. I had some restriction after the first fill, nothing major but enough to hold the snacking down but now it is all shear will power to stop from over doing it. I am excercising at least 3 days a week. I plan to put it in overdrive the next 4 weeks in order to meet my personal goals. Just hoping fill two makes it a little easier.

Hey lady! I was just going to mail you today but I got distracted putting out fires. I am fine. Down about 35lbs now. I just got my third fill and I am filling it. Nothing bad though, just nice to have some emergency brakes. How are you coming along? I bet you all skinny now!!

      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. 🤞
