I'm sure there are some people out there getting banded that didn't make it on the official surgery list, so good luck to all of you as well.

Indeed, thanks for posting this. I'm slated for Wednesday afternoon, and while as the time gets closer I'll admit to getting somewhat nervous about it, it's full steam ahead!

Thanks Anna for posting this thread and thanks to everyone else for the well wishes! I have surgery scheduled for Wednesday morning. I live in Missouri and we have gotten a lot of ice so I am hoping a lot of the ice is gone by Wednesday. I am getting so excited for my surgery!!!

Anna, I think we are on the same day (February 13th). What time is your surgery? I have to be at the hospital at 5:30am so I am thinking my surgery will be around 7:00am. Good Luck to Everyone. I will be sure and post after surgery.

Good luck, it really isn't as bad as it feels like it will be. Just remember to WALK it off! that is the best thing I did. The pain is REALLY manageable, if you are female and had a child, it is nothing compared to birth.

See you on the banded side.

Thanks for all the good wishes. It's an exciting week to be entering bandland. Good luck to everyone this week.

My surgery is at 10 a.m. on Friday. What a way to start the weekend. It works out nice since DH will be home all weekend and Monday (Federal Holiday) so he won't have to take but one day off work and I won't be alone for the first few days.

Hi Everyone,

I had my surgery yesterday, and I am feeling great! A wee bit of gas pain, but the Gassex strips are taking care of that. As far as incision pain, it is very, very minimal. If I would have had to, I could have gone back to work today.

Good luck to the rest of my fellow Victorious Valentines!

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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
