Hi New Ones,

Glad to have you here with us. You can be a mayo Bandito by clicking on the banner below. As I recall, you just copy and paste onto your edit signature area of your own profile. !If you would like a ticker, you just click on any of them and it will take you to the site and you just follow the directions.

This is very exciting isn't it! :smile2:

I'm throwing my sombrero into the ring, I got an approval letter in the mail today and I'll be making my surgeon appt on Monday for as soon as they can see me. I'm going to be a mayo Bandito and I'm ready! I started looking into this process last August and if my insurance hadn't changed I would have been banded for over 3 months by now. That's ok, more time to get ready! I see I'm in excellent company and looking forward to the journey with all the other May banders!

Hey everyone! I just set up my surgery on Friday. My surgery is scheduled for May 18th. I can't believe how easy it was to get my insurance approval. I am going to pick up all my preop instructions on Monday. And the fun begins:tongue:. I've gotten a lot of uselful info. from coworkers as well as online. I'm excited and a little nervous.

      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. 🤞
