I am a lurker. Alot of times I don't have time to post or anything more to add to some posts but I do like to see how others are doing and I can usually find answers to any questions I have & love to help out when I can as well.

Yeah, count me in too. I am a lurker from Oz. Always reading this Feb 08 thread but never quite know what to say! I was banded late in the month so you had all excellent advice for me when I went in!

I'm delurking too. banded 2-12 and hungry as all get out. 2nd fill on this coming Friday and I know there isn't much hope of restriction more than a couple of days, but I will continue to hope. Have lost no weight since my 1st fill, but haven't gained anything either. I read pretty faithfully and am keeping tabs on all my band sisters.

Hi Kylie,

I was also banded on the 22-02-08 and I have lost 11kgs also, was 90kg now 79kg doctors goal is 67kg mine is 60kg. I am supposed to have my first fill tomorrow but i ended up in hospital a couple of weeks ago and doctor had to empty my stomach so he said he doesnt know if he will do my first fill. I hope he does will let you know tomorrow.

I lurk sometimes at work...because now we are not allowed to post messages while at work....but when I am off...no lurking...I wouldn't have over 500 posts otherwise...but If need be...I'd be on this site 24/7 it helps keep focus and morale up...

love 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.
