Hi- I just wanted to say that I love this site, it's much more personable than the others and you guys have made me feel so much at ease with my decision to have the band. I can't believe that its only 3 days from now... Is anyone else from Connecticut? Also Jenna- I love seeing your posts, I am the exact size you were when you started! Height , weight,everything. It's great to see where you are now. Thanks everyone!:)

3 days! Are you excited or WHAT?!? I love this site, too. It's a good thing that work has been so slow for the last month or so - or I might get fired for spending all my time on-line! LOL.

The word that comes to mind for me is Loving. Folks on this site are generally loving and kind - compassion, thy name is LBT!

Love you guys!

Hi Zoe! I'm still around, just not much time lately!!! I got my band on 8/19 and just started eating real food on this past Friday, Yahoo! I had my first PB though yesterday:(. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be though. I'm down 21lbs total, but that has slowed now that I'm on regular food. Thanks for thinking of me! How are you doing? Good I hope! Bye, Vanessa

      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.
