Almost forgot to post this week. After not losing last week, I finally got over the hump. It's so nice to be out of the 230's. (even if it's not much) Haven't had that happen for at least 6 yrs! Hopefully I'll reach my goal of 225 soon! Good job Nymphs.

Feeling really depressed. It has been 8 weeks since surgery and no fill yet. The first fill has to be done at hospital under xray and my surgeon is so busy they are having trouble scheduling the time. The last few days I have been eating way more than I ever have and feeling really down. I gained 2 pounds....Is this bandster hell???? I have kept up with my exercise and spent a hour at the gym today and burned 650 calories in an hour. I hope I get my fill soon and get back on track...I hope it won't take too long. On the bright side.. Congrats to all the November Nymphs. Keep up the grat work friends!

PLEASE... Be assertive about your health care and well being. This surgeon is not just another medical guy your trying to get in on his schedule... He is YOUR surgeon. There are special scheduling situations a LapBand doc puts himself in when he starts doing that Sx. I think your surgeon needs to get his priorities in order and realize he needs to offer a little better "customer service". It is INEXCUSABLE for a lap band doc to be "too busy" for his patients. Why on earth has he made you wait 8 weeks for yor first fill? That is just not right!

If I were in your shoes... I would be calling his office manager and DEMANDING he set aside 30 min. and get my fill done! This is all part of the bariatric program. If he cant service his bariatric patients... maybe a call needs to go into the hospital administrator! Go to the head honco... maybe then this surgeon will service his patients!

I'm going to make it to my first mini goal. Although I think it was a little to mini, I might just make it to 199 for valentines day. That's a much better gift than roses or candy could ever be.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
