Banded Tomarrow..FINALY!



Recommended Posts

Tomarrow is the big day, it seems like I have been waiting forever! Good things come to those who wait..ha! I live with my Dad and he has been really sick with the flu.....NOT GOOD! He is still pretty sick,but he is my caretaker and I'm sure he will be fine. I just do not want to catch it....coughing with incesions...can you say OUCH!!!! But I trust God will take good care of us both. I want to thank all of you, this site has been such a wealth of information! I would have never felt this confident without all the hours spent here. Wish me luck..soon I will be a REAL BANDSTER! HA!:Bunny

Best of luck to you! I got mine last Monday so I know how exciting this is. I was nervous last Sunday but am so glad I went for it!

Good luck! I wish you all the best! It's great to have your Dad taking care of you.. I hope you're both up & around and feeling good real soon.

Take a pillow with you for the ride home, I hear it helps a lot.. especially to "cushion" the bumpy ride home. I'll be joining you on Monday 10/10, I'm also getting excited/anxious.

Keep us updated!

Terrilen......Good luck tomorrow with your surgery! I hope you have as smooth a time as I did. I almost couldn't believe that I had even had surgery cause it went so well. I know you have to be a little nervous mixed with so much anticipation and excitement. Just know that you are about to begin the most wonderful journey. What a wonderful thing to have your Dad with you to help you out after your surgery. Just a bit of advice. Get you some chewable GasX and have them ready when you get home if you need them. Also, walk as much as you feel up to. Walking definitely helps with the gas pains and the GasX does too. Keep us posted and once again.....good luck!

      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.
