NSV and Not Banded Yet! :)



Recommended Posts

I feel I had an NSV last night. One of my dearest friends that I thought was going to have a problem with me having the surgery and not support my decision came through for me last night.

He told me that he will support my decision and will be there for me if I need him. That is just plain awesome. It made my night. I was on cloud 9! I know I shouldnt really care if they are behind me or not, but I do. I am doing this for me to better myself and want to make my family and friends proud of me!!!

I am having my surgery on the 30th of June and I feel like I have already gotten an NSV without it! :) Look how it is going to make me feel once I have it. I have all my family and friends support.

My Dear Husband has been so supportive of me doing this and he is very excited for me. He is such a wonderful man. I am one of the luckiest woman in the world!!!! WOO HOO!!!!

Thanks Kathy! Wow, Looks like your the only one to reply. I really appreciate you being here for me. You are an inspiration to me to keep going through with this. Of course I get those days where I am like, WHAT AM I DOING? But for the most part I am very very excited about doing this so I will have something to talk about with you once it is done.

Yes, He is! He is a very special part of my life. I think very highly of him and really appreciate him coming around and understanding my decision. See we have another friend that had RNY and she has lost all of her weight and she looks good, but her attitude has changed and she just doesnt take care of herself. She drinks Sun Drops like they are going out of style. We try to talk with her but she doesnt want to listen.

So, He has reservations about it. He doesnt want to see me act like her or eat like she is. He said if I do and he notices it he is going to kick my ass! lol So he is a great friend. He will look out for me and will keep an eye on my habits. My life is going to turn into a big show where everyone is watching! lol

Thanks for the Reply!

So glad you have such a wonderful suport system. You are going to be so glad you got you r band and it will change your life in ways you never dreamed of. I've only had my band a few months and I already feel so different then I did on any diet because I know I will nnot gain the wight I've lost back. Good luck and congratulations on getting your surgery date.

Thanks so much. I can't wait to have it done. I was able to pre register at the Hospital today and get that all squared away. I am so excited. This month is going to go by so fast. :)

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

      2. LadyVeteran1

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
