1-der Land!!!



Recommended Posts

I have made it to the land of the hundred pounders...

I have never in my life thought I would ever see the other side of 200. I haven't been this small since I was 14 or 15 yrs old. I am smaller now than when I met my husband. And I'm still going down. At 87lbs gone I only have 33lbs to go. I have to say that when I had this surgery done, I never though I would get any where near my goal and now it's just with-in reach... YEA!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to all that are here and read these threads...I think that it is wonderfull that we all have each other to get through this major life change that we have chosen...

I'm so excited for you! I made it to wonderland about 3 years ago...I think I was at 199 for about five minutes before the weight started coming back. Isn't it great to know that our lap bands give us a fighting chance to never have to being a deuce again??? Again, my congrats....I can't wait to join you!

Thanks for the kind words... I would have never been able to do this with out my band... I love it.

I had to go on Friday and have .5cc taken out. I was to tight from my fill last Wednesday. I went 10 days and could hardly eat anything. I lost 8lbs during those 10 days though. That's not safe, I know, but we went camping this weekend and I could have put it right back on, I was eating the whole time... I know it was bad, but it felt so good to eat... I'll go back to my normal eating habits tomorrow :laugh:

      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. 🤞
