Katie's Band



Recommended Posts

Oh what a sweet DH; we all appreciate knowing that Katie is loved and supported as you have demonstrated. Please tell Katie that I am prayig for her recovery to go exceptionally well and that 5 days from now she will feel almost back to her old self but with a lot more joy and hope for a healthier future that will be a blessing to you both. Also, tell Katie that I had a low BMI at date of surgery but have the big band. While I was concern at first because it took them longer to determine what was restriction (8cc in the 10cc Lap-bandVG or Vanguard band) with this more forgiving band, I am doing great with a steady weight loss of about 1.3lbs per week for the last 16 weeks (date of restriction). But with your love regardless, I know she is going to be fine. ;o)

Always,

Judy

We pray that she is doing better and will be home soon. The first few weeks are the worst. Support one another as you go through this life changing journey.

      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.
