Thank you KMCD. I will be praying for all of us bandsters tomorrow as well as the physicians that will be doing the surgery.

Today is the last day of pre-op and my last real food tonight until around April 13. I hope the next phase is as easy as the pre-op was.

I finally lost a few pounds on the pre-op. It was driving me crazy that I wasn't losing but then again I have never been a patient person either.

Good luck everyone tomorrow and in the month to come.

Hello....I am an "April Bandster"! I start my preop diet tomorrow and my surgery is scheduled for a week from tomorrow.

Anyone have any good suggestions for the Protein Shake? I need to have 2-3 per day...

My surgery date is April 6th at 8:30 a.m. I have started my pre op diet and it's driving my crazy. I'm a little scared for some odd reason because I have had surgery before. I'm trying not to change my mind. Just a little confuse at this time.:biggrin:

Mona, I'm having surgery on the 6th too! Try to focus on the excitement of how healthy and awesome you're going to look and not so much on the fear. That's what I'm doing. I'll find out on Friday what time my surgery will be.

You can do this and it will be GREAT!

      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.
