I am at the beginning of the process too, and I also am a mother, I have two little girls.

I have to loose at least 100+ to get to where I need to go..

Are you nervous? I am not yet but I am sure I will be when it gets closer...

Do you have a date set to have your surgery, I don't yet I have a few more things I have to get into the clinic..

Where are having it done?

Sorry for all the questions, I am new at this....

Hope to hear from you soon...

Hey Jennifer!

Glad to hear that you are on this journey as well!! My surgeon will be submitting to ins. next week....then I wait! I'm already so anxious! We are hoping for an early April date!! I am having surgery in Blue Earth..south of Mankato. I want to lose at least 75 pounds..85 would put me in the normal weight range, but I can't imagine that weight!!! Stay in touch...I would love to know how this is going for you!

Hey Ladies,

I am in the Twin Cities. Looking to loose 100+ Off to a good start so far.

Have you been banded yet? I just got my first fill last week. Some restriction, I still need to fight with myself to make better choices!

I am a Mom of one sweet sweet four yr old girl :()

Good Luck...We can DO this!

I am a 27 yr old mom of 4 from MN and going to a lap band seminar next thursday.

If I decide to do this how soon would a surgery be scheduled? Im wondering if anyone knows the process since I am very new.

I have bad health and my weight isnt helping my health so they suggested this.

I would love to keep in touch with everyone. I need someone to help me through this.

My email is blue2cry@hotmail.com

      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.
