Hey Lingling,

Nice pics...you'll have to keep taking your progression pics in your pretty little black dress! That is a dream of mine - to actually OWN a little black dress...lol.

I want to post pics too, but want to wait till I'm closer to a surgery date. Yours is coming up fast! Woo hoo!!!

Hi, I'm researching getting the procedure. I'm scared of the scarring as well. I know I should be more worried of dying of a heart attack right? How big are the incisions ? and how many are they? are they noticable if I wear a bathing suit one day ? thx

Bella the scarring is pretty minimal - better to have three scars than a big gut!!!

If you go to the "Photos" link, some of the bandsters have posted post-op photos so you can see the size of the incisions.

Ok, so I am trying to put a pic on here but I cant figure out how. All it does is erase what I have typed and is really big. Can anyone tell me how to put a pic on here?

      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.
