Thanks ya'll, it's a labor of love for the April Bandsters, someone from May will need to take over THAT cause. It's kinda hard work! Okay, not in the HARD work kind of way, but it takes some time and attention. All I did was start the April Bandsters thread, a few signed up, TrishS to start, and from there I just started reading posts, and when I came across an April Bandster, I edited the post with the list and added them on, and the list sort of developed on it's own. Then I started seeing the weeks appear, and rather than start threads for each individual, well, I just went for the weekly thread. There are 10 Bandsters for this coming week! 10! And I am one of them! Woohooo! It's overwhelming to keep up with each person, particularly when they don't post regularly and beg for the cheerleading like I do shamelessly. I also want to make sure everyone makes it back okay. It helps me stay calm when I see one after another go and come back and now, weeks later they are posting about PB's and all the normal stuff...it's reassuring for me. I am not completely altruistic!

I leave on Thursday morning, early, and will need to post the NEXT week's thread before I go, since I don't know how I will feel when I get back Sat night and, honestly, don't want to have to worry about it...so it's chugging along, but the May folks will have to find their own advocate (hint, get busy) I really love all of you but keeping up with April is plenty for my soon to be very small plate, pardon the pun!

Yay this week's Bandsters!!!!

Okay gang, I have spotted posts from Debri85, who is rescheduled for later this month, BKMayer is back, tammy (tambonzjo) is back and Harleynana's Mom is back too. And then there's me and I know chris is home because I saw her with my own two eyes and she's really pretty and nice.

So, we need to hear from robin, angeleyes, sweet tooth, smellycat, and kellyV. If you have seen or heard form any of these folks, tell them to check in here. We want everyone home and Banded!!

      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.
