Howdy Ya'll, My name is Ann. I am happily married to my DH for 16 yrs. We have 3 wonderful kids, 2 boys and one girl. I'm in Central Arkansas, just north of Little Rock. I am a department manager at Target, Conway. I was banded March 31st by Dr Rex Luttrell in Little Rock. I love spending time with my family and have become addicted to walking, hoping soon to be jogging. I am happy with my band but worry too much that something is wrong, flipped port, slippage, or tube disconnected, that type thing, But all and all I'm happy with my progress so far. The reason I chose the band was so I could lose slowly and tone as I go, but I want it now, lol. I wish you all the best and thanks for starting this thread so we can get to know everyone.

Ann

      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.
