So lucky to have a band :)



Recommended Posts

I was banded on 7/20, and have almost lost 50 pounds (including 2 week liquid diet) I went on a trip to Boston this weekend and walked around all day. It was the first time in a long time I wasn't worried about how I looked, about not being able to walk too far, or feel uncomfortable. I had the BEST day. I'm sooo happy I was banded!! I have about 100 pounds left, but my life is already transformed:)

Yippee! I can't wait until I can walk a lot. Between my bad legs and my breathing problems, I can't walk much yet but I'll get there someday. I'm so happy that you had a nice day and they will only get better as the weight comes down.

Congratulations! I know how you feel. I was banded April 22, 2009 and I have lost 50 pounds. I feel great! I have about 40 pounds to go. My life has completely changed for the better. I haven't felt this good in quite a long time. I would get banded again in a heartbeat. No regrets AT ALL! :mad2:

      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.
