terri,

That is amazing!!! When is your apt with your neuro guy? I'll bet he falls out of his chair when you walk for him!! That would be something to get on tape so you have his reaction to movitate you later when and if you get discouraged.

Let us know how many more you have done....You know the March of dimes is looking for a few good walkers to participate in their walk-a-thon...haha

xxoo keep up the amazing progress!!!

Thanks all, I have not taken more than 4 steps at one time but I can now make it all the way across the grab bar matt. 4 steps, stop for a second (so I don't fall down :) ) then off again! You should see my arms fly when I take the steps without holding on, I look like I am getting ready for take off. LOL :)

I went in for my fill on Tuesday this week and showed everyone there. My nurse started crying. My Dr. gave me a big hug. I had a pretty big crowd because I am the first bandster there and everyone wants to watch Dr. B do the fill. So there were plenty of congratulations going on.

I don't have a appt. with my Neuro yet because I don't have to see him but once a year. Maybe I will go see him just to show off!

Thank you all for your support! I don't think I could do this band thing with out you all. OK maybe I could but you make it easier!!!!!!!!!!!!!

((((((HUGS))))))))) to all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      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.
