Hello All!



Recommended Posts

Hello All: I've only posted a few time during the prep phase. Just wanted to say "HELLO" I'm Dee from Southeast Michigan. Being banded on August 26th. It's official, I started my pre-op diet today (4 shakes/1 meal). The closer it gets, the more nervous I get! Good luck to all those out there.

Welcome to the August All Stars! I felt the same way, nervous, but it is well worth the effort. The surgery was not as scary as I thought it would be and I was in and out of the hospital on the same day!

Hi Dee, and welcome! This board is absolutely fabulous. We've got folks who are almost a week post-op and about a zillion of us just chomping at the bit to go! Stick around and soak up the inspiration and support. I love it! :wink_smile:

      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.
