Long2bThin -

That's why I put it here to let everyone who is just starting their journey to know that IT CAN BE DONE.... You gotta work at it - the band is only a tool - it really boils down to eating healthy and exercising - You have to make the committment to yourself - but OMG let me tell you something - it is so worth it - you are so worth the work

Thanks so much for putting that in there. It is a tool and one I plan to use to it's full advantage. I am self pay and to me that makes it all the more important that I do everything they tell me w/o trying to find ways around the band etc. I've already begun going to the gym as I figure the more in shape I can get now the more I can do later and hopefully the more that helps with my recovery as well. And for the first time in a long time I am thinking in terms of WHEN I lose the weight vs. IF I lose so I am starting to get the head into this as well, if that makes sense. Thanks for the words of encouragement.

Congrats Indigo. You are a real inspiration. I was banded 4 weeks ago, and have been having a hard time. I'll have a few good days, then totally BLOW. Sometimes it is hard to pick myself up, but I know I have to. You really made my day. I am SO inspired to have a good day tomorrow. Can't make promises about day after tomorrow, but tomorrow, I'm going to let you success inspire me. In fact, I'm going to have a perfect day not only for me...but to TOAST your success.

Once again, Congrats and may God continue to bless you with success.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
