It's been a while since I got on to check on how everyone is doing. I just wanted to drop by and say Hello! The pictures I've seen so far, everyone is looking FANTASTIC! I have to admit, coming back and seeing the progress of my fellow Jan. bandsters makes me regret my decision even more. I let my nerves get the best of me, but what's done is done I suppose and I can't go back in time. So, I"m just gonna keep on truckin'..lol. Hope everyone is doing good! :tongue:

Hey Amber! Thanks for stopping in to say hello! You can't regret your decision because it was the right one for you at the time. I'll quote your post: "DH and I had a long LONG conversation well into the early morning I made the decision. I canceled everything Monday morning. I felt like I had a huge weight lifted off of me, so I know I made the right choice."

I can't believe it's been 2 over months since your surgery date! I just had my 3 month anniversary and it's amazing how quickly time flies.

If you don't mind me asking, what were your feelings the month following your scheduled surgery date? Is surgery an option for you in the future or have you decided it's not the way to go?

Be well!

Hey there, Amber!

Of course we January bandsters remember you! I'm glad you checked in!

How are you doing? Have you been able to achieve what you hoped to?

Please fill us in on what's been going on in the last couple months with you. You may not be banded, but we care about you anyway!

Hi Amber, don't ever doubt that the decision was the right one. I resisted the Lap Band talk from my doctor for years, and it was only last year that I decided to do it.

      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.
