I'm going to be on the loser's bench too. If they send you home same day but your insurance allows the second day stay, would anyone out there recommend staying?

Count me in! I'm scheduled for the 25th. I start the pre-op diet on Monday. Two long weeks of Opti-Fast. That should be challenging. My surgeon also wants me to do 2 more weeks of opti-fast after the surgery. I'm not necessarily nervous about the surgery itself; just hoping this works for me. I plan on being very patient since I understand that it takes a little while for you to actually start losing. I'm anxious to hear how the weigh loss goes for you guys that are ahead of me.

Good luck for everyone with upcoming surgeries!

Hi I'm Angie (angie61). I'm having my surgery on July 30!!!! Very excited, but it seems a long way off. What are double V's? and how can I post a new thread? I'm really trying hard to figure out this site. I don't have much time this morning and I'm puzzled as to how to get to everything a little faster than I AM doing... I posted a new message a few min. ago and I have no idea if it went "through" or not and/orhow to read the reply(s) if any. Thanks in advance!!

Hi Angie. First off, congrats on your surgery date and best of luck with the surgery and new life.

Probably the best place for you to post is going to be this section - July 2008 Bandsters - Lap Band Surgery and Lap Band Discussion Forum. It's the section for people who are going to have their surgery in July of 2008.

VVs or Double Vs or Victorious Valentines are the names the people who had their surgery in February 2008 use. That happens to be the section you posted in. No biggie cause we're all really in the same Lap Band boat. :grouphug:

      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.
