. . . when your good friend (who doesn't know about the band) gives you concerned, suspicious looks when you immediately walk away to the bathroom without speaking because something is stuck and you cant talk about it.

. . . when you go to the bank and some woman you don't think you have ever seen before in your life says "did you lose, like, a lot of weight?" and you look at her dumbfounded because you don't know what to say to a stranger about that topic and are just a little surprised.

My family always celebrates birthdays by everyone eating the birthday person's favorite food. When it got to my turn, I said they all have to go to out to dinner, order one meal, and split it between them all!

You know you are a bandster when you spend all of your free time on a website especially for the bandster and even time you really don't have and you think "OMG, did I really just spend four hours on there?" and you feel like a total weirdo and you post pics of yourself when you swore you never would do something like that on the internet and you post how much you weigh and how much you USED to weigh and post pics of yourself when you were HUGE and those are things you never would share in real life... ok Im done

when you're in the mall and looking for lunch so you go to the food court and get a sample of the honey or teriyaki chicken and the sample fills you up. It's the cheapest lunch in the mall since it's free.

      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. 🤞
