Hi, I'd love to chat with you! I was banded Feb. 7th, 2008 in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves. Im kinda frustrated since I havent lost any weight since I got back in Feb. Ive had 3 fills and feel very tight but dont seem to be losing weight. Drives me crazy! And I sure cant find any support here in the States. I love my band, but want the weight to fall off! Im off to work now so if you want you can drop me an email at LisaLynelle@aol.com.....Id love to chat and share stories and maybe encouraging conversations! Thanks again, Lisa

I was banded by Dr. Aceves on Feb 13/08 but still haven't had a fill. I'm still trying to find a fill doc close to me. I'm waiting to hear back from a doc in Montreal. It has been very frustrating! I haven't gained but I have only lost the 15lbs that I orginally lost the first month after surgery. If this doc in Montreal won't take me then I will have to go back to Mexicali. How long did you go between fills and how many cc's did you get? I have the J&J band. I really wish I had researched the whole fill thing a bit more. I live in Ont and if you were banded in Mex, they won't touch you.

Hi,

Regarding getting fills in Canada, I would recommend putting a thread out on this site requesting names of fill Dr.s or Nurses. I have a fill nurse here in Saskatoon that charges $75.00 each. I've had one so far (at about 6 wks post op) with good results. I'm sure that there are fill personnel out your way! Let me know how you make out.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
