Hey Everyone,

It has been great reading everybodies emails.....I have really learnt alot.

I will be getting my band on March 4th with Dr. Ortiz. I am excited and nervous at the same time. I can't wait to start my new life.

I feel like these last three weeks have been a rollcoaster. At times I have been out of control eating and other times a wouldn't dare eat an extra ounce. After reading post after post I realize that this is probably normal.

Regular Size clothes I get gitty just thinking about the possibility!!

Hi Lacy,

just had my surgery on Wed Feb 16 2005 and feel so excited with my new life. Dr. Ortiz did the surgery and you can ask him or Dr. Martinez anything. They are wonderful. I told them exactly the objections that my primary doc told me. I felt so much better plus I made 2 new friends. You can contact me if you like...take care

Congratulations, you will soon be banded! They said not to, but I did a lot of out-of-control bingeing right before my surgery. It's normal. Good luck with everything!

      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.
