Recommended Posts

Yeah, I'm pretty excited, nervous and scared.

I hit disgusted yesterday when I got on the scale and saw the results of my two week long "last meal" binge.

Thanks for making me giggle! I needed that.

KarenK,

Just tell yourself 10 times, "the scale is my friend."

Then take a hammer to it and beat it all to pieces. I promise, it will make you feel better.

At least they made my mother wait in the other room while they forced me on the scale - my size 8 mother who complained the entire way to the doctor's office about the extra 5 pounds left over from her Alaskan cruise she still needs to lose .

Talk to me when it's 105, mother!

Shanna234 - best of luck to you.

Hello Everyone, I am a 65 yr old female that just received notice yesterday that my insurance has approved my lap band, I have a date of Oct. 24, I really need everyone's prayers. I have a liver condition called NASH which has turn into cirrhosis, my gastro dr. advised me to get the proceduer, he said it would help my liver. Has anyone ever heard of this?

any way I need to lose about 45 pounds in order to be a little bit more healthy.

Hi Bradley18! It's nice to meet you! I have not heard of NASH before, and I'm sorry you have it. I bet once you have your surgery and loose the weight you will feel 100% better. My surgery date is October 27th and I am doing it because my PCP pushed me for it. I'm only 33 though, I bet you will feel like a kid again (no offense) :thumbup:

      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.
