Hello ya'll from Tampa. As my ticker says, I was banded in May and although I have not updated my weight loss ( I'm waiting for the official weigh-in at next fill) I think I doing pretty well. All I keep thinking is ...why the heck did I wait so long to do this?!

Good luck to all and I hope we can all keep in touch.

Hey ya'll! I was signing on to see how everyone weathered the storm too! We were very blessed and didn't get hit to hard! Yesterday brought a lot of tornados and a lot of places close got hit but again...we were very blessed! The creepy part is when you look out at the docks and they are under water! The whole flipping thing! ( we live off the St. John's river)

Hey good -Luck to those getting ready to get the band! It id very exciting I know!

For those who already have the band keep up the GREAT work! We so deserve this!

I have been bad about checking this thread but promise to do so daily! lol Seems I get so side tracked sometimes.

Ya'll have a great one !!

      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.
