Oh my gosh! I am so excited I can hardly stand it! I just got word today that I am approved for my LapBand surgery! I just can't believe it...I don't have a surgery date yet, but should find out this week! My journey through this has been quite an experience, and am so happy to be joining your group to share all of this with. I know I'm new here and no one knows me yet, but I look forward to meeting you all!:tt1:

HI!

Well, my journey was somewhat unique...started over a year ago, had to stop, and restart. After I restarted, it took almost 6 months. I had my psych eval, dietician, exercise physiologist, etc. already. I hope we are down to just another EGD and the liquid pre-op diet, but I'm not totally sure!

Either way, I am SO ready for a new life!

Thank you for replying and sharing my excitement!

Congratulations! I was just banded on Jan 16th and I have already lost 14 pounds. I just can't believe how great I feel! I am a diabetic and I am barely 12 days out and already not taking any insulin or oral meds. I hope things go as well for you! Good luck!

Ooohhh, I want to be like that! That is amazing! I'm a little worried that I'll be like some who've posted that they are like 4 months out and have only lost 12 pounds...I've got big plans for a new wardrobe and a Tummy Tuck and going on a cruise and...and...and...LOL!

      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.
