Recommended Posts

Hi all

This is my first post, I have having my band fitted on 4th April 2009 Dolan Park, Bromsgrove, UK.

Is there a quick way of looking on this site if anyone else is having their op on the same day at the same place?

Cheers

Welcome to LapBandTalk!

There is a section for all people being banded in April and there is a section for all people from the UK. If you post something in both those sections, you should find a band buddy.

Hi there

Thank you for your reply!

Can you point me in the right directtion as I have no idea how to find the right section???

Also, is this site any connection to Minimins.com as it looks very familiar?

Looking forward to hearing from you shortly.

Cheers

Im from Scotland, you?

Im feeling good, I was very sore for the first few days, but it's to be expected!! im loving my band, lol, im still on post-op liquids just now, and admit its tough, because i really want to chew something, lol, but i just keep thinking of the weight loss and it keeps my going!!

Lisa was my co-ordinator, cant rememper off the top of my head my surgeon, i ended up not having the surgoen do the op that was supposed to, only due to me having to stay an extra night and get my op the day after i was supposed to.

Hi

Oh, you couldnt be any further away from me! I am Leicestershire in the Midlands. What made you come all the way here?

Hey, someone mentioned that I can check who else is having their op on 4th April somewhere on this site, can you point me the right direction, as I would love to find some more people having their op on the same day?

Cheers

      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.
