Recommended Posts

Hello fello Ohio people! I was banded yesterday at Jewish Hospital in Cincinnati, by Dr. Trace Curry.:clap2:

I'm feeling really well, just some discomfort. But that's why they have meds, isn't it!

Anyway.. time to walk and drink.. walk and drink...:flock::flock:

Congrats again JazzyWoman.....hope things are still going well for you. I started the process for lap band surgery. I am on a 6 month supervised diet and am attending the seminar on Feb 11th at St Lukes Hospital in Maumee,Ohio. I am excited to do this and hope I get through the process without alot of road blocks.

I'm down 20 pounds!!! Yay!

My butt isn't as big, nor are my legs.. and my jeans are really baggy!!! I just got the go ahead from my dr to start exercising, so I'm gonna get that going. I also got my first fill, and it's not as restrictive as I had hoped, but I go again in 2 weeks.

Keep working Volemt23!! It is all worth it... the process is harder than the actual surgery.

Thanks so much for the support. I am a little nervous after reading so many different things on here and other websites. Is there one particular site or whatever you stuck with to learn more about surgery and stuff. Just was wondering. I also joined the obesityhelp.com site. Seems to be more local people on there,but still trying to figure that site out. I really enjoy this one,but find myself getting lost easily and confused.I am so happy for you that things are going good. I will keep continuing to keep you in my prayers.

      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.
