My Dr. is Dr. Madan. I was banded two weeks ago and I am still tired and not able to get much down. I think I am at the point where I am regreting this. I hope it passes soon.

MSFlygirl, you will not be regretting this when you start loosing that weight! I was banded in March and have lost 40 pounds.

I joined the "band" wagon July 20, 2005. I am down 30 pounds and really

feel great. I am just now eating solids. I haven't gone for a fill yet. I don't

feel as tight as I did right after surgery, but still can't eat as much.

How much can ya'll eat at a normal meal (volumn-wise) now. I hope that I am

not overeating. I live in the Jackson area.

Let me hear from ya'll.

      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. 🤞
