Aug 4!!

I started the liquid diet yesterday and so far so good. Although tonight I experienced my first case of nerves. All of a sudden I thought, "OMG, I'm really doing this. I'm going to have this device in me forever." Then I thought, yes I am and it's no different then a knee replacment to help someone walk. Just like knee pain keeps someone from fully living life and hurts them, the weight hurts me and keeps me from living life to the fullest. This calmed me down and put things in prespective.

Wish me luck!

I hope to have an Aug. date!! :) I have been considering LapBand for about a year... But because of finances have never been able to have it. Well, due to my PTC and CHiari, I have met my yearly max and my insurance has to pay 100%! THe catch is, my calendar year starts over Sept. 1. So, I have to get approved, pre-oped and banded by then! My docator says he can make it all happen, so long as the insurance doesn't drag their feet!:) So here's hopin'!

My surgery date is August 13th, I also work in a modified school calendar year and we are already backto school. I am excited also but afraid in the same breath. I have been thinking about how many days I will have to be off work. I was shooting for July but ended up with Aug. I am just so happy to be getting this done.

      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
