Thanks to having what I think is the flu this past week, I'm down to 226.5!!! I've been taking basically clear liquids/yogurts, just until this throat stops hurting so much. I haven't been 2-twenty anything for a very long time! I love my band!!

Congrats to everyone on their fabulous work!

I'm back from an ice-cream-filled vacation. . . and in Onederland again! Drumroll, please: 199. Down one bloody pound in a month. But that's something of a miracle considering how much frozen custard I put away recently.

Pretty happy right now. Didn't gain but didn't lose either. I am still 234. Gotta kick this thing into HIGH gear now. Got 6 more to lose for the challenge. Good luck all.

I'm down 1 more pound this week to 267. Better than gaining, but I'm not thrilled. Good job everyone on your weightloss, and for reporting it every week. This board is a great support for me.

I continue to be blessed with a wonderful banding experience. I can't believe it's almost been 6 months. I'm down 3 lbs this week to 282. I'm hoping for 2 more by the 31st, which will be my exact 6 month banderversary, and would be a 60 lb weight loss.

Guest EDNAK.

Good Luck With Your Surgery. I Will Say A Little Prayer That All Goes Well Will This Be 2 Surgery's In The Same Year? Does Your Dr. Think That The Band Had Any Effect On This At All?

      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.
