Hello Everyone!

I've been coming here and reading post since February and am thankful for this site and all the people that post their experiences on her. I have learned so much and am ready to take the journey. I have been given a surgery date....JUNE 6th :rolleyes:! I will be banded by Dr. Garth Davis at University General Hospital in Houston, Texas. I was told that I will have to be on a liquid diet 1 wk prior to surgery, which I'm thankful that it wasn't 2 wks.

I'm excited and nervous! I'm looking forward to talking and hearing from other June Bansters!

I just want to say Thank You for all the support everyone offers to others... this site is truly a blessing!

WooHoo! :tt1:

I just wanted to say that I also am having my surgery done by Dr. Garth Davis at University General. I am just waiting on the coordinator to call me with the surgery date. I am a self-pay. Good luck to you.

Congratulations on you date!:lol: I am hoping to be a June bandster myself, but the school I work at isn't out until the 6th and my only child's 18th birthday is the 10th, so I will probably put it off until after that. Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

      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.
