Well, I was hoping that this board would be a little more 'happening', but I guess I can get some dialogue rolling! I am a 32yo mom of three, scheduled to get banded on 1/29! I am on day 7 of the preop diet and it's not bad! (and I've lost 14 lbs, so that is incentive!!:thumbup:)

I am excited that we are at the age that we can still 'start over'! This band will absolutely change my life.

Let me know how much you are loving your band! :smile:

It works if you work it! I heard a story this morning from someone who's daughter had the surgery over a year ago and hadn't lost anything. That just tells me that they are expecting the band to do all the work for them and it just doesn't work that way.

Use it as a tool and it will help but you still have to do most of the work yourself!

Hey kristilaw!! I told you I don't come on here much... today's my first time since April 08 when I found out I was pregnant. I'm here searching for answers and advice, I think I might have an overfill from 3/6 if I'm reading right... guess I'll be going back soon for a slight unfill. I'm sick constantly and the weightloss is not happening, but I'm hopeful! Looks like you're doing great! Everything going ok for you?

        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!

      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
