December 10, 2008 Band Date



Recommended Posts

I do! I do! It is my 3rd one (date) and believing it is the charm! Only 5 weeks to go, let us 'walk' it together! I will be having it done in San Francisco, couple of hours from where I live.

So, is anyone 'nesting' like me, preparing, and what other ways, like shopping (bought my slippers & shakes)? So excited, we will be set for the new year, finishing up 2008 with a great tool...to be & feel fine in 2009! :lol:

Happy Early Anniversary Fanny!

So glad you posted in here...a true forerunner for us...looks like you are doing well! So...what was it like, amidst the holidays and winter season? I believe this is a really good time to get banded...but knowing we are brave to do this through the holidays. What a way to Celebrate NYrs' Eve and going into 2009!

Yeah Mjenkins, you found us! Can you imagine how our lives are about to totally change in just 5 weeks?! Yes, let us support one another, as a major help in this journey is just that! Where are you located (state), I am in Northern California. Also, don't forget to vote in the poll for the December Bandster name! Roseyyyd1:rolleyes:

I just ate some cheese while making dinner for my family. I am so dissapointed in myself!!!! I have been doing so well. Should I skip my last shake for the day? I don't want to end up gaining when I go in for my weekly visit to pick up my shakes. What do you think?

Hi Goose! Cool, we are increasing in numbers...hopefully more brave souls out there! I have heard of the one incision procedure, sure would be only that scar (+ the port?).

It will be great to compare notes with everyone too!

Have a healthy day of good choices! :thumbup:

I'm one day off (Deceber 9th), but what's one day amongst friends? I don't see any posts from fellow 9ths, so if you all don't mind I think I'll kick in with you. We will be in the hospital at the same time. I'll be in St Louis Park, Minnesota

Welcome MommyJD!!!! What time does everyone have their procedures? Mine is at 12:45 in the afternoon. I am hoping I will be able to go home on the same day. Have you guys told friends and family? My family knows but my husbands family does not. I have only told two of my closest friends.

        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
