Recommended Posts

Congrats! I had mine done 13 days ago. I feel really good. I am back to work. Down 23lbs!!! You can do this. You will be tired for the next week or too, but you will perk up and do great! Try gas x for the back pain, it works wonders. Or a heating pad to the back works wonders too. Best of luck, keep us posted. Kelli

brownskin82 and hanna130 , welcome to band land it is down hill from here , u guys willbe fine once u get past the gas just keep moving around and the gas x did help me , but i have heard others say it didnt help.

I had my procedure on Oct 8 so it will be a month for me on in a few days I have lost 21 lbs so far and I am weighing 197 so I am happy it isnt much I see others loose way more but I am still happy I am walking and riding a bike for exercise , I am doing good, to all of u good luck on ur new journey!!

Congrats!

We, my daughter and I just had surgery on Oct. 30th. 5 days ago and the abs are barely sore if at all.

We are so excited for a new start on life. I am 45, she is 19. We both tipped the scales at 299lbs. We desperately needed the help!

Wish us all luck!

      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
