Thanks Margo, I have been too busy today to think much about it. I know tonight when I settle down, the old mind will be doing it's thing, a bad case of the "what if's"

After reading all the good things from others, I know this is a step in the right direction. Tomorrow is the beginning of a new phase in my life.

HI! I am hoping if all goes well with the insurance August 29th! I am thrilled one of my coworkers got approved and it is only a matter of days for my approval. He actually got the nod a few days ago. I am terribly excited!

I also want to add too all of us August bandsters. Here's to a new beginning of our lives with much success and happiness, as our bodies begin to shrink, and we become healthy and happy with our new lifestyles.

I will be praying for all of you as your surgery dates get here. Looking forward to hearing from everyone after your surgery, best of wishes to everyone.

I can not believe it is our month.

4 weeks from tomorrow I will be banded. How amazing is that.

Good luck to those of you who are having your bands tomorrow. I will say a prayer and keep you in my thoughts.

And will be impatiently waiting to hear how it all went.. So don't forget to post when you feel up to it...

Here's to our new and improved lives...

      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.
