Hi newbie here.... banded ny



Recommended Posts

Hi

I had myself banded 2 years ago, It was great lost 50 lbs never had a fill but had a mamo... and they thought i had cancer which i did not... well the testing took close to 6 months... the anxiety gave me somehitng that i do not want to post...bloody problem...finally they said i was ok... but had to take care of the problem... then had other family issues.

Well, would have gone back to doctor and told him but I was so ashamed and one family member told me I was fatter than before,,,b&tch but should have listened to my heart,

MY DH who says he is happy that I am banded just said you gained...was not thrilled when i went back..

So, went back last week and already lost 5 lbs....so whose the happy camper.

My goal is to lose 25 lbs by the 18th when i visit my lapband doctor (Dr Richard Pucci) becasue then I will be at the point where i was before I fell off the wagon.

Please note that during that time I did watch what I ate and did not drink the Water NOR did not exercise...the simple rule is what goes in plus calories burned equal less fluff,,,lol

I am now 298 weighing in at the support group...it is possible that the scale is off...so lets say 300 lbs,

My personal goal is 180 lbs because I am tall, and 54 years young. At that time, I can see if I need more to loose.

I am married to my Dh, my soul mate and we have a 16 year old son. Presently, I have high blood pressure, asthma, sleep apnea...so I guess a mess.

WAIt for the day when my boody is not following me :blushing:

      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.
