Wow! Congrats to you all!

I hadn't really thought about my bandaversary this year except that I'm going back to my trainer to have new measurements done...that will be fun for a change!

NEXT year, I'm planning to go to Hawaii to Celebrate my 25th wedding anniversary...in late September...so that is my big goal.

I love to hear what you all are doing! (maybe I'll get glamour shots done for dh's Christmas present...hmmm...)

We have the same bandiversary date!!!

I am getting my band re-filled on 10/6! That's my celebration. :scared2: I was way too tight on 9/18 and had to have my liquid removed...emergency trip to the ER. Stress at work and upcoming flight out of town made my Dr. decide to remove all restriction.

You are doing so great!!! Congratulations!

I'm pretty proud of my 65 lbs, too. I feel great. I just bought 2 pair of SIZE 14 jeans at lunch today! That was an awesome experience!

Well DH bought me an hour long massage with hot stone therapy in June for my birthday and I haven't had a chance to use it yet so I think I will for my Bandiversary.

My best friend will be going away for the weekend after my bandaversary. We will be visiting an Amish area. I am looking forward to some beautiful fall days!

My bandaversary was Oct. 8th. I didn't do anything except make me a 'progress' picture. I've lost 70 pounds.

I need to decide what my next goal is and get motivated to get the rest of this weight off!

It truly has been a remarkable year and I'm so glad I made the decision to get this band! I went to the seminar to encourage my husband and ended up signing up too! :sad:

It's been great having someone to go through this with me.

It's been a wonderful experience. My overall health is so much better than it has been for many years. Somehow I have trouble believing that I am a senior citizen because I feel so healthy. I am wearing the same size clothes my 36 year old daughter wears.

Yet, there is a small voice in the back of my head saying "Will this last or be like the other times you have lost weight and regrettably found it again"? I hope it will last. I think it will last. I know it will last!

      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.
