Hi gigi,

I would love to be added to your spreadsheet. That is an awesom idea. I love it...thanks alot

Bethany,

Hello and Welcom! Your name is on the spreadsheet so all you have to do now it click on the link (and remember to bookmark it!) and then click on the blue words at the top of the spread sheet that say "go to live form" and then you will fill that out with your info and it will add you again to the bottom but I will always be going in and keeping that updated for all by moving and deleting! Good Luck to you on your surgery.

Keep in touch,

Gina

Hello

I am getting banded April 16th by Dr. Marc Rickford in Washington, DC. I am so excited and scared at the same time. I know this is best decision I have made. I refuse to continue down this road of obesity. 2008 is a New Year for me and I am ready for my transformation. Congrats to eveyone who has done it and will be doing it!! :thumbup:

This board rocks :thumbup:

Hi- Jumping in a little late here. My name is Marisa, I'm scheduled to by banded by Dr. Feteiha in Summit, NJ on April 21st.

I've already ordered the stash of supplies for the 2w pre-surgery liquid fest.:Dancing_shocked:

I recently went back to school for nursing, so I'm squeezing the surgery in between semesters. It should be quite the adventure - but will be totally worth it when I can walk into any store and buy clothes 'off the rack'. :thumbup:

I have to say that the thought of owning thighs that don't rub together is an entirely enticing concept as well... :Dancing_tongue:

Hey Bethany, it took me a bit to figure that one out.

Go to Trying To Conceive Ticker

Choose your weight loss ticker (they have tons to choose from) and follow their steps. VERY easy.

Then cut and paste to the area below your signature line, or below your name, or wherever you want your ticker. (Done in the "my account" section)

Have fun! I chose the chicks because of Easter/April band date (well, sometimes Easter is in April)

Hi Everyone!

I'm scheduled to be banded on my birthday, April 24th!! Wonder if there are other "birthday bandsters". Anyway, now that the LONG AWAITED date is near, I'm reading everything I can to be sure its the right decision. Seemed like I was very sure before I was approved and scheduled!! Thats probably normal. I'm glad Easter is over, and my kids' candy & chocolate fest is done! I think thats another good thing about getting banded this time of year.....AFTER the holidays and Easter. Why are Cookies & candy automatically thrown into holidays? I guess I look at it differently now! Well, I'm excited & nervous......reminds me of the "great unknowns" like with the birth of my first baby. Luckilly, we're taking a trip over spring break, so that will help the time pass.

Sorry, I'm just rambling.....

Kat, thanks for the support. I see you EVERYWHERE on this forum!!

Good luck everyone!

Barb

Hi. Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jamie, I'm a 31 y/o mom of one(so far!) and having surgery on the 16th. I was supposed to be a March bandster but there were some delays with my insurance company. At any rate, I am excited and counting down the days!!

      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.
