New Support Group @ Johns Creek



Recommended Posts

Warren, thanks for the details. My success so far has been slow, in my opinion. I have lost 40 lbs. so far. I have an appointment for a potential fill this Wednesday. I have 7cc's and feel no restriction. My surgery was performed in Dallas, but the office in Atl seems to be extremely conservative, so I always feel as tho I must be persistent when requesting a fill....I'm basically tired of having to "gear up" with attitude before my appointments! I'm really excited and looking forward to meeting the group.

Angilyn, 40# is nothing to complain about!! Just think that is weight you possibly would not have lost without the LapBand and slowly but surely it will keep coming off. Keep positive and look toward the future. I have had 3 fills thus far and am still not at my "sweet" spot but I think I am getting close. So far I have not met any resistance from my doctor. My next fill is scheduled for the Tuesday afternoon of our next meeting. I was trying to be smart and make only one trip over to that side of town so I combined my doctor's appointment with our Support Group meeting. Look forward to seeing you at the meeting. Take care and keep in touch.

Warren

Thank you for your kind words of support. Don't get me wrong, I'm pleased with my 40# loss and I look forward to working my band to be a big loser! When did you have your surgery? I'm curious to hear of your success also.

Please do! I went there last year for a seminar for lapband....Waited months before I decided to have the surgery. Im in Sugar Hill, right down from James Burgess rd, or I could come up McG Ferry. Thanks so much and I look forward to meeting you 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.
