Is anybody scared or just ready to get it done? I am a school teacher so I have been really busy at work and all of a sudden it is here! Yikes!!! At least I have the rest of the week and next week to recuperate (Spring Break). Good luck to everyone!

I will be laying in the OR at 7:30 tomorrow morning....all I can say is I hope and pray this is the right thing for me.

I've been very confident in my desicion up until the last few days, now suddenly it seems like every post I read is someone complaining about their band.

Please keep in touch I'd love to have some great folks to commiserate with!!

Good Luck to us ALL!!

I was banded yeasterday, my 62nd birthday. Am having a lot of pain. Surgery took twice as long as my surgeon explained I had so much scare tissue from my previous surgeries. But I woke up with th Band and that is all that counts. I am ready to start my new lifestyle. Good luck to everyone still getting banded this week. There is a lot of us.

I was banded on Monday 3/23. I am feeling much better now that I am 3 days post op. All I can say is take your pain meds, don't skip, take them every 4 hours. I thought I would be okay just taking tylonol the day after surgery and did way too much on my first day post op. I am now just feeling better. Good luck to all of you getting banded this week

      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.
