And I am also a teacher---ESE, K-5! I love the date because I have a few days after school ends on the 4th to rest, and nearly 2 weeks before summer school starts to get used to the band and get back into things. I am soooo looking forward to this. Since November, I have only lost 14 pounds and it has been hard going! I'm hoping that the band gets me jump-started to lose at a normal rate, especially since I have so much to lose!

I am also being banded on June 10th, and I am also a teacher! I work with young kiddos with Autism. I love it and I will love it more when I can gracefully hop up off the floor in my classroom without any issues. Go June bandsters!!!

Anyone getting nervous? I am nervous and excited. Ready for it to be over with. I was supposed to have my last preop appt. today but it had to be rescheduled to tomorrow (yep a Saturday!) I was surprised at that. I am scared I haven't lost enough on my preop diet. I have lost about 6 or 7 pounds. Hopefully that is enough. My BMI is 43 so I just pray that my liver is not too large! But overall since November I have lost about 25 lbs.

Nannypants, I had to laugh at your "gracefully hop off the floor".....:( If I ever got on the floor, it would be because I fell and I would need help to get up. Graceful would never be part of the picture for me! Good luck everyone! Tuesday is just around the corner and I cannot wait!

June must be the month for teachers! I received my approval in March and decided to wait until summer vacation. My surgery date is this Tuesday, 6/24. I'm so excited (and nervous) to start my new life! It wll be such a blessing not to be exhausted and wanting to take a nap when I get home from school when I lose weight.

P.S. Nannypants, I haven't sat on the floor in years! I think I'd need the

fire department to give me a boost..(the kids would love that I'm sure):biggrin2:

Congratulations Justjan! But I have to tell you, I have many "skinny" teacher friends who are totally exhausted at the end of the day! I think it is a far more strenuous occupation than most people believe---those little darlings keep us busy, don't they? Summer school just started for me today, and with the air conditioning out, I was grateful to have just gotten a short hair cut and to have the lost the weight I have so far---even so, it was miserably hot! Hahaha!

      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.
