Good to see you doing weel, we can live without the foods we can't tolerate with the band, but at least we can enjoy life now.

Congratulations! I was banded Sept 19, 2007. I have lost almost 40 pounds. Mine is coming off slowly but it is more of a lifestyle change and hopefully the habits I am forming now will stick forever. I am starting to have trouble with bread, but most foods go down easily. I am just not hungry and don't even think about eating much.

What is your typical day like?

i was also banded sept.18,2007! I would not change a thing! I love my band and only wish i had done it sooner. I have a hard time with breads, and some meats, but it also depends on the day, i don't know why one day i can eat real good all day, the next not too much. Regardless i love the new me!

I lost lbs!!! but got pregnant and gained 100 lbs back! I just had my second surgery on Monday to fix my band. I had a prolapse, band slippage, and a hernia. I get to start over so I hope I have as much success this time around.

I gain a significant amount of weight around 45 lbs in a year and a half but this January I got back with the program and in March got another fill. So I have lost about 20 lbs since January, Just need to remember to stay way from the comfort foods that will slide down the old band like chocolate and ice cream.

Good luck on your new life and your new adventure with the lap band

      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.
