Thanks for this...funny I was curious about all the band haters who had a signature posted with

"how to research a gastric sleeve surgeon" website emblazoned across their posting!:)

just an interesting point

No, actually it is how to research a Mexican BAND surgeon. It is there so people do not have to depend on patient coordinators for information, the person can learn to verify info for themselves. And as I have written repeatedly, it will work for US surgeons as well. Funny how the bad doctors don't want their potential patients researching.

I know, that's an absolute horror... the concept of people being able to verify info instead of believing everything they are told by those selling a surgery.

Wasa was asked by the owner of this forum to provide that information because so many members were requesting it. If you have a problem with this, feel free to contact him (Alex) or an administrator (Susan).

I see this is your 4th post. It might be wise to "look around" and review the forum before posting something that, while maybe not intended to, is insulting.

Thank you and Happy Easter/Passover.

Definitely annoying, there was actually a woman in that chat room and I don't know whether she was one of those people but it sure seemed like it, she wasn't exactly bagging the surgery but the thing she said made her story sound completely untrue. She supposed had surgery and was 11 days out. Had 1.5cc in her band and could eat whatever she wanted. Now as we all know that isn't possible at all, at 11 days out your either still on fluids or at the pureed/mushie stage. But the thing is there where alot of people that where just banded in the chat room at the time that seemed like they believed her, it just annoyed me so much.

Unfortunately the sad reality is this has been around a long time and some even do it to pay their bills. It's hard to take the full advice of 1 person... I never trust 1 source on the internet... I reasearch over and over before I ever make a decision on something.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
