Good morning again everyone! My prayers are with the next go-round of bandsters.

Wow, the days are just dwindling down. :w00t: Im so stoked I can't wait!

Well, I am not staying the night, however the price my surgeon charges includes a stay at the hotel down the road the night before my surgery and an overnight stay following my surgery. There will also be a nurse checking in on me. :lol:

I really like that part of the deal. I will be six hours from home so this really helps. I have family in DFW area though that I will stay with for the rest of the week before me and my hubby come back.

IM SO EXCITED :thumbup:

Hi all! I just wanted to hop on here really quick and say that everthing went good in surgery and I am doing really good. The only thing that has been a little bit of a challenge is remebering I am banded, the reason I say this is because I have been having head hunger, and will think out of habbit that I want something from Burger King or something. So yeah, that has been the hardest thing for me.

The gas was a little bad last night, but I would just get off my butt and walk. It wouldn't make it go away, but it would make it more manageable. Also, I have had some gas pain in my right shoulder today. I know that is weird becuase people often say they feel it in their left, maybe I am just a weirdo! :thumbup:

Well, that is about it for now. I wanted to let everyone know that got banded today that I was thinking about them and wish for a speedy recovery. :w00t:

TTYL, sorry if I didn't spell things right, but I am a little bit druged up and don't really care about that so much. :lol:

        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.

      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
