  1. 1. What have you lost?



Recommended Posts

Hey you guys...Just checking in on my 8 month bandiversary?

Down 60 lbs as of a couple of days ago. I had to have another unfill today. This time they took out everything. I was having heartburn and reflux at night and was miserable. I can go back next week to put most back in or just wait until I'm feeling better.

I still love my band, even if it is a little fickle sometimes. I have been at my sweet spot since last month at this time and then all of a sudden...WHAMMMMM. Too tight. :thumbup: There's no rhyme nor reason for it.

I started in a size tight 18 and now is a loose 12. :thumbup: 10's here I come.

I've lost 60% of my excess weight in 8 months and I'm not one bit worried about gaining anything back. This is the first time I've given away my FAT clothes. I truly feel at peace with my weight, body etc. I'd still like to get another 25lbs off. I'm only 5'2". I'm in no rush. Would love to be a size 8 when all is said and done. The nut at the doc's office doesn't think I'll lose more than 10 more lbs. :w00t: (I'll show her) Anyway...I don't post a lot but I do lurk to see what everybody's up to.

      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. 🤞
