Hello everyone-

My name is Lynda and I am 32 years old. I have struggled with my weight for years now and have decided to have Lap Band surgery. I am scheduled for surgery on July 8th and I am getting really excited about it. Of course I'm a little nervous too but I'm looking forward to the new beginning. :thumbup:

Hey Lynda! I feel the same way. July 8th is my banding day also. Just know you are doing the right thing and your whole life is going to change - for the better. This website is great for getting all kinds of information. You are not alone. Just know there are others going through the same thing you will be on Tuesday. Good luck!

Hi Lynda..

Best of luck on your surgery, and the start of a whole new you. Its scarey at first, but remember you are doing this for yourself and a healthier life. You'll get plenty of great advise on this website, as practically everyone has been thru this. I was done May 13,2008 and have lost 34 pounds already. Barb

      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.
