We are super cool!!! Band life hasn't been so bad so far. My appetite has kicked up again and according to my doctors this is a good thing. I'll have my first fill on Dec 8. I'm so excited for you!! I look like I've been shanked (stabbed violently) about the stomach but mederma is gonna make me all pretty again.

LOL! I can picture that. I had my gallbladder out last year and had 4 stabby looking wounds. I'm sure I'll be adding a few more.

Well good luck, we'll have to check on each other from time to time!!

Yeah my gall bladder had to go about 3 years ago so this is just adding to the jigsaw puzzle on my belly. I'm sure it will look a lot better once the belly is less round, you know nothing distracts from a flat tummy!! I hope that we do keep up with each other. This is an adventure that I don't think should be traveled alone. I'm Mikki so be in touch and I will do the same!!

I was banded when I was 19! Finally decided I didn't want to waste my youth away I guess.

      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.
