I totally read it wrong.. I think the time frame threw me off. and the Surgeon Date and Surgery date.. I didn't read it correctly..My bad. Hey so are you related to Kimberly ****? She mentioned you.. or at least I think its you.. I work with her here in SF.. Small World!

Hey Girl - FYI "WE" opt to put our first names on here but others may not like to have their real names given let alone their full (last) names too.

Oh, yeah - lol congratulations on orientation! Girl, it's all down hill from there. Funny you mention tatoo or something... I told Jes last night that as soon as I'm up and running after surgery I'm going to get a t-shirt that says "I'm on the band wagon" or something silly like that - so excited - afraid of tatoos.!!

I live right by the Pinole Kasier...I guess they will be gone by the time I get there. So tell me after a fill how do you feel? Are you right back to normal or is there woozyiness or anything?

No woozy after a fill. Might feel some tightness but no usually. Totally easy.............just you can't eat right away.....fluids and you have to just see how it goes........with each fill/unfill ........you have to take a couple of days to learn how to work with it.........like see what foods work............what gets stuck and ...........just see how to work with the fill..............

Only the first fill did I feel pressure but I got 2ccs which is alot.........as much as I had taken out..........

the surgery is the most intense part once your done with that your home free Jess........................

well maybe the morale of the story is to get a tattoo while we still have some chubby on us!! LOL.

I thought about RNY too but glad I didn't do that. At least with the band you can add or take Fluid out as needed. Seriously if I would have had issues last week with RNY I could have been in the hospital. As it was it was a quick fix with the band just taking some fluid out..........

Band is the best you can make it work for you whether fill or unfill is needed..............scares me to think what would have happened last week if I had RNY!!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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
