A simple hello will be sufficient



Recommended Posts

Hi Y'all -

I posted a question earlier with no response. Just a simple hello from anyone at this point will be nice. Hoping to be able to use this forum as an important tool as I work toward my weight loss goal.

Thanks from a newbie.

Hi. I just wanted to say that sometimes, there won't be a response if they are not familiar with that particular situation. It's not because they aren't willing to help. I have found that anyone that knows, will answer.

Anyway, welcome to the forum from another newbie.

Hi there Country girl!

Welcome, and what's the question you posted earlier? I was banded July 2nd, maybe I can help.

Hmmm...I know why I didn't post...you asked a specific question:

Anyone else here had any issues with other surgeries prior to banding?

And NO I didn't, so I figured you only wanted answers germaine to your question!!!

If you just wanted to introduce yourself, you could just say so! :smile:

Hi CountryGirlNY. I know what you mean - some of my posts do not get many replies either. I still put them out there, perhaps someone can relate. Hope all goes well for you!

Thanks Y'all!

No worries about my first question. It was very specific and I'm just praying that it's not going to be an issue.

My first consultation is on Wednesday - I guess I'll know more after that.

Hi, I'm a newbie, too, as of tonight. My surgery is scheduled for 10/6/08, and I am nervous. I see my surgeon on 9/23 for my pre-op. Again, ready, but nervous.

      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.
