Hi bandsters. Hoping to see a group of you out at the mall tomorrow. I can use some encouragement as I've been working alot of overtime, slipping into some eating that I am fighting back on, and not getting time to exercise, a triple threat to successful weight loss. I'm trying to get control of things again but it is hard. My bandiversary is coming up next week and I really wanted to be at my -100 at that point but I'm struggling to hold onto the -94 I have at this point so maybe I set myself mentally up for failure in a way putting stress on myself. I've now set March 31 as my goal for -100 and I do see my surgeon on Monday March 16 and I'm going to ask for a small band fill adjustment because I am finding it easier and easier to eat bits more and those little bits add up when you log them in. I haven't had an adjustment since about November I think so with what I lost since then, it may be time for a small adjustment to keep me at the restriction level I need.

Congratulations to the other folks I shared my bandiversary date with last St. Patrick's Day and just before... its been an incredible year.

Best wishes go out to OhJuli on her upcoming plastic surgery on April 6th! Can't wait to see the fabulous results at one of our future mall get togethers. Please offer up prayers for her on success for her surgery and for the painful recovery this surgery requires.

God Bless you and keep you safe Juli!

      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. 🤞
