banded on April 8, 2005

surgery day weight was 223

current weight is 197

I am 5'5"

As I type this, I am wearing size 18/20 exercise pants from Wal-Mart. The are snug in the butt/legs (but not too bad or I wouldn't have them on!) but a bit too roomy in the waist area. My shirt is a 22/24 but it is way big. I could do a 20 comfortably but I like my clothes big, so...

I have lost a total of 22 1/2 inches from my body. Here's the breakdown as of this morning:

Arms -1/2 inch each

Bust -3 inches

Bra Band -2 inches

Waist -4 inches

Abs -3.5 inches

Hips -3 inches

Thighs -2 inches each

Calves -1 inch each

You didn't ask for all of that but I JUST measured this morning and I'm so excited to have lost this many inches!! It's happening! I love my band!!!

Havent been banded but am 5ft 10, 108 kg (about 240 I think?). Size 20 - thats a US 18. Kinda fat and dumpy but not fat enough, surgeon doesnt want to see me, so I have to go it alone. I've lost a bit over the last few weeks, losing motivation a bit now though. I should be around 154 (70kg). That was the weight I maintained for a long time and felt great at.

Jachut, Where in Oz are you? The lady in hospital next to me only weighed 86kgs and was banded by my surgeon in Perth - she had just been diagnosed with diabetes though so that was probably a contributing factor. If you are having health problems due to your weight I am sure that a surgeon would at least see you and talk to you. Go pour you heart out to a nice GP and get a referral and then they will have to see you. Good luck with it honey!!

      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.
