Trish - everything you are going through is normal! If you didn't have those feelings, then I would be worried about you! :laugh

Your surgery will be here before you know it. I think it is much harder when you have to wait so long for it to get here. Before you know it you will be in lapband, giving someone else advice! :laugh :laugh

OMG thats to funny Jenna... I would booty dance with you, but im afraid I will take down some people with my big ole butt LOL

Well I feel GREAT today... I had my pre-op and feel loads better. Dr. Smith and Cameron were just to to kind to me. Cameron sat there and answered every crazy question I had to detail. and Dr. Smith smiling the whole time let me know that he has not heard of much pain from any of his paitents and that I am going to do wonderful. So I am getting excited... and Thursday I start my liquid diet.. ugh! lol

Trish, we can do this together! same emotions, and banding on the same day. It is good to know I'm not alone in those feelings.

We will look back on this in a few months and laugh at how crazy we were! Last day for food for awhile is Tuesday. Having a party with friends from work. Then drink, drink, drink.

Keep in touch Trish and we can support each other!!! YOU GO SISTA!

Trish,

You time is on countdown. It will be no time before you come over to Bandland. This is an exciting time for you. Enjoy it and take it slow. Remember someone in your past probably telling you about good things comes to those that wait. And believe me the wait is worth it. Take care.

      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
