Looking for Space Coast Bandsters



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 12/17, by Dr. Fusco. No nausea, no vomiting, gas not bad. Very happy with my care.

My surgery was Dec 17. No issues at all post op, only lost 16 pounds so far. My first fill will be Jan. 16. Have been exercising for the first time in my life. I unfortunately got an infection in my port site, Dr thinks it is from a stitch inside working its way out. Very sore and little drainage coming from it. Was told to use peroxide on it three x a day. Looking better now. I am very discouraged with weight loss. I was one of those junk food junkies and a wine and beer drinker and have a big sweet tooth. Have done a complete 180 and can't imagine how the weight is not falling off. Hope the fill makes a difference even though I have followed diet to a T and not overdone eating at all.

Hi,

I'm from Titusville and was banded on 12/28/12. I was banded on the West Coast but need support because I don't think my fill is working. I am not getting that full feeling like I did last month. I had my fill Feb 6th and I'm thinking I should call my surgeon. Any advice?

I'm not in your age group but had my surgery done on the west coast. I'm going to have "cruise to lose" out of Pt Canaveral. If interested let me know.

What is cruise to loose?

A cruise to lose is a special group cruise of WLS people who will join and travel on a cruise together with a couple of special guests. One of the guests is a personal trainer who lost 80 lbs herself and has kept it off. There will be food available on this cruise that may help you lose weight, what you eat however is up to you.

I was banded in St Petersburg with Dr Rehnke. I could have been banded by Dr Fusco in Melbourne but he wanted $3800.00 cash upfront and Dr Rehnke accepted my insurance without a problem. I love my surgeon and don't mind traveling to St Petersburg.

      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.
