Does anyone ever feel that maybe this wont work and maybe it wasnt the right idea? I've had a rough day with pain and all the sudden had doubts - inside I know its the right thing but how do you stay motivated?

In the beginning of exploring the idea of getting banded I had many doubts that I would fail one more time. Now that I'm so close to getting banded I know that I will lose the weight. I have to because my health is at risk.

Plan each day and stick with it! You deserve to be healthy and look great!

I was just banded on the 29th, and yes I do think sometimes was this the right thing to do and will it work for me. All I can say is I'm doing my best to make it work and I really hope I don't regret it. Thats for sure not to say that I haven't already messed up, but I have to have hope that after a while I will see more results and be alot more confident about my decsion. whats done is done and I'm working my tool as best I can today.

I think that all the time... less and less now as time passes. I think it's completely normal to doubt the band and yourself. Sometimes when I get on the scale and I haven't lost as much as I wanted or thought I should I thought, man, I've failed again, the band failed me... blah blah blah.

Just get past those moments. The first few weeks are the hardest. I'm just now getting to a point of normalcy...

      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.
