What a lovely surprise to find this message! Yes, it's been a year. I've been absorbed in too many other issues lately to do much serious reflection on the band, but I'll check in soon. Thanks!

I think I'm gonna cry! I've been looking at the half-empty side of life lately (must be all those screwed-up hormones), and sometimes I forget where I was 12 months ago: not only 65 pounds heavier, but with high blood pressure, joint trouble, problems walking without getting winded, not to mention a sense of hopelessness about my weight. But, thanks in part to the wonderful people at LBT whose posts I read before taking the big step, I wasn't quite ready to resign myself to a (short) lifetime of total fatness. Maybe I haven't lost as much as I hoped to, but without the band I surely would be at least 275 lbs. by now. And I would have missed online friends like all of you! Thanks for your kind words, everyone, and a special thank-you to Eileen, who thoughtfully started the thread.

BTW, my goal weight is still 160 -- by my second bandiversary, August 26, 2006.

Zoe, well done. Sixty-five pounds is nothing to scoff at. You deserve a pat on the back and a shopping trip hehe. Keep up the good work :)

      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.
