May seems to be a very popular month! Do you think the surgery is gaining approval or more people are hearing about it? I was at the hospital getting my Pre-Op done and there was a story on CNN on the tv in the waiting room about the lap band. I wanted to scream- "hey, that is what I am here for", but I stopped myself!:lol:

Hi, I'm May 7 and I'm on the 2 week liquid preop. Everyone said your not hungry after day 3. They are wrong, but I'm getting through. As it gets close I'm getting a little nervous.

I will get my band on May 13. I start my liquid diet on Tuesday. I've been lurking for the past month or so, just reading everything I can.

I'm also scared, excited, nervous all wrapped up into my 5 ft tall size.. :lol:

Hi

I have my PreOp lab work done on the 4th and surgery the next day. I have one concern--"I don't want to fail in losing weight one more time." I feel like this LB Forum will be such a help. I wasn't put on any diet pre surgery by my Dr. My Insur. has a Nurse you can call and she gives advice to Bariatric patients. She told me to cut down on portion size and drink lots of liquids.

Oh, and I got a Happy Birthday Wish Today from The Forum--Thank You dicev

      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. 🤞
