Hi,

I'm from Berlin. Dr. Marley put my band in a year and a half ago the day after Christmas. He's fabulous! I go on June 10th for my year & 1/2 appt. I haven't had a fill since last July. I've lost 90 lbs. Do you go to the lean team meetings?

I went in the fall and spring of last year but not during the winter. I don't like to drive in snow at night. Then I had foot surgery in April and can't drive yet. It's my driving foot. Sooo...I won't be going to any meetings until I get the okay to drive. They are helpful. The last one I went to they got in a plastic surgeon from Greensburg and he talked about the different procedures you can get after weight loss. I won't be getting them because insurance doesn't cover them. I also haven't got any rashes yet to photograph to prove to insurance about skin breakdown. I guess I'll be jiggly unless I win the lottery. LOL

I am from Portage (close to Johnstown) hope you are all doing well. I was banded by Dr. Marley June 11, 2012. Appointment on Monday to be allowed to go to full band diet (I hope anyway).

I hope you are doing well after getting your band this week. My biggest problem was the gas pain in my shoulders and neck--I got some relief with warm moist heat, alternating at times with ice. Take is easy!

        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
