Hi,

My name is Kristy and I live in Moultrie GA and work in Thomasville. I got my band April 21, 2008 :thumbup: in Albany GA by Dr. Bagnato. I have had two fills and I'm going this afternoon to get my second unfill. We're having trouble finding the sweet spot. Has anyone else had problems with their fills?confused.gif

Hi folks! I'm in Thomasville, or T'ville for short.

I was banded on May 29, 2008 in Juarez, Mexico. The procedure was not as expensive as local physicians.

I have had no fills. Here is my progress to date:

:tt2:

I really haven't had any problems. I eat just about what I want, albeit in very small portions.

I do start each day with 5-600 crunches, 30 or 45 minute bike ride, and weightlifting every other day. When I started I wore a size 56 suit. I had some old size 42 pants in the closet and now THEY are about 4 inches too big. I'll try to wait until I am closer to my goal before purchasing any clothes.

Good luck to all!

Hi, I'm from Valdosta, GA. I had my lap-band surgery done at Emory in Atlanta, GA. I was told they may have a support group at one of the hospitals here. I'm going to look in the paper.

      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.
