I just wanted to say Wow! I was banded on May 14, 2009 and I am doing great :) I signed up on this site because I had so many questions I wanted to ask.

Every time I loged in to ask a question some one has beat me to it....:cool:

It is so nice to know that I am not alone out here and that every one is so nice and willing to help and support...

Thank you all!

Tracey

Yeah, you gotta have a place like this to go, to compare notes, to compare progress, to ask for suggestions or answers.

Because if I didn't stop talking about this life event on my other board/s, they'd probably kick me off. LOL

This is by far one of the best resources for the band online. I don't know what I would do without LBT.

Again WOW!

I go in today for my first adjustment I am excited to see the changes...I have been bouncing between 203 and 206 the last week. I have noticed that I can eat a bit more than before. But I have really been watching what I put into my mouth...makes me a bit nervous because I could go for that piece of cake right now. But I refuse to give in.

Thanks Again to all of you! :party:

This site is great! I will admit that I am a bit of a "stalker" as I do a lot of reading and not a lot of posting. But, it is nice to have a place to go to see if the things I am feeling and experiencing are similar to other people. I love the May group because people are in the same place as me :biggrin:

I agree completely! It is great to have other people feeling the same things at the same time and having the same worries, successes and not to mention temptations.

        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
