Recommended Posts

:thumbup:My name is Michelle. I am 23 almost 24 years old. I was recently banded on June 24 by Dr. Kureshi in Denison,Tx. I am loving my band so far. I dont have any complaints. I have lost 28 pounds so far. I have a goal to lose about 42 more pounds to be at my goal weight. I had the lap band because i was a 23 year old with major health problems being high blood pressure, borederline diabetic,and infertilty. I looked at the lap band as a tool to help me get healthy for my self, my husband, my family and future children that hopefully we wont have to do fertilty treatment to have. I am already seeing result form my surgery i dont have any more back pain, no knee pain , im not short of breath when i wlk up stairs anymore my list could go on and on but ill stop. Well thats enough about me so if youhave any question just ask.

Congratulations Michelle!!! You are doing great!! I was banded on June 2 and I too am already feeling better. I was also suffering from infertility due to the obesity. I am 32 years old, and i want children so bad. I can't wait to be a mommy. So with each pound i lose, i am closer to getting healthy and to hopefully getting a baby...(After i reach my goal weight of course). Good luck with everything and keep us update!!!

      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.
