New Year's Knockouts Bandiversaries



Recommended Posts

Most of us are nearing or have passed our bandiversary dates. I have a few more days to go. I would like to post some pictures and make a few comments on that special day.

Would any one like to post about triumphs and challenges over the first year?

Happy Bandiversary to Everyone :thumbup:

Today is my bandiversary!

I am down about 30 pounds. I have been a slow loser and I have had quite a few challenges but I am now looking to make year two even better than the first one was. My triumph is that I am down 30ish pounds from my starting weight and not 5, 10, or more pounds heavier which is what I would be if not for my band.

Today is my Bandaversary. I can't believe a year has gone by already. I've lost 84 pounds and am at 164. I need to get at least 35 lbs more off. But it can be4 hard. I'm at a plateau. I've go to break this stalemate and move on to a new year. Happy new year. Anyone else banded today?

I can't believe how fast this last year has gone by and even more I can't believe that I actually had weight loss surgery!! Asked me 5 years ago if I thought I would ever have an elective surgery I would have looked at your like you were crazy..lol

I would do it all over again if needed. I love my band. Its been a great tool and I really hope to be at goal by July...ONDERLAND here I come!!!!!!!!!!!

      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.
