Surgery 09_22_09



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone--I am scheduled for surgery on 09_22_09, in TJ. I am currently on the pre-op diet, ugh! I am allowed a Protein shake for Breakfast, a Protein Shake for lunch, and a lean cuisine with a cup of salad for dinner.

I am so hungry:sad:. I have been on the pre-op since 09_08_09.

Today I cheated, I feel like crap:mad2:. I had a egg taco for lunch instead of my Protein shake!!

I hope I have the strength to not let that happen again!!!!

September 2009 Band Date

Hi! Have you placed your name on the list of 09/09 bandsters ?

Quite a few are getting banded in September. I think several in Mexico.

Keep in touch, and let us know how you are doing. I did the pre-op diet 2 weeks. It helped me to keep the 0 calorie beverages up to 64 oz. Have the liquids already measured out for the day. Have you tried samples of Meal Replacement drinks?

Vitalady.com - Protein supplements, Vitamins & Minerals, and Safe Snacks!

Also, we were told to have a schedule, when to eat and when to drink, to practice for after the band.

Hi Anita,

I have not placed my name on the list not sure how to? I had surgery on the 22nd in TJ. Everything went great, I was so pleased with the doctor and his staff.

Now just trying to get on with the healing. I'm a little sore and my stomach gurgles all the time.

Hi, I just arrived back home after camping for a week.

I'm glad to read that your surgery was a good experience!

Usually, someone will add your name to the 09/09 list, if you ask. I didn't know how to, it was done for me!

      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. 🤞
