Hey there folks. Just wanted to announce my new band -- in Wed 12/5/07.

The surgery was easy as all get out, not a problem (I was scared ta death about that). Only the port is causing any pain at all, and thats not that bad.

I love this forum, I have learned so much and it definitely informed me as for my decision to do it.

Here's to losing this weight and starting my new life!!!:heh:

HI! Your buckeye name caught my eye because I'm a fellow buck! I was banded on 12/4 with Synchrony Weight Loss by Dr. Osborne... such a small world! I love knowing that there are people around me that are bandsters... it seems less elusive. ;) Congrats!

Look under the USA Local Support Groups, then under Ohio, and you'll find there are groups of Buckeye Bandsters in Columbus, Cincinnati, Cleveland, all over! Congrats.

Go Bucks!

Buckeye, I'm glad to hear your surgery was easy!! Congratulations!!!!

I'm still wondering if I can be alone after coming home from the surgery. Did you have any help or need any????

Hey there smaller. I had absolutely no problems after I arrived home. I was at the Surgery Center at 630am, home by 11am. I wasn't even sore at all, tho most of the time I just relaxed. But I needed no help after I got home and situated :)

      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.
