List of October Bansters

October 22 !!

Went by the Docs office today to signed the concent forms. While i was there i asked about the pre-op liquid diet. She told me that becuase my BMI was below 50 that i was not required to do the liquid diet prior to the surgery. Anyone else have the same issue ?

My band operation is on the 3rd (Sat.)

I too was told not to diet. My BMI is 30-31.

I thought it was odd so I've been binge-ing : (

I decided to do a clense tomorrow by eatting only fresh juiced veggies & drinking a pre-surgery drink that will absolutely clean me out.

By Fri I should be completely empty. That will give me the 24hr fast I need and hopefully the jump start I nedd to drop this unwanted weight.

Good luck to you all!

October 1st for me!

It's 12:16 AM PDT and I have to head to the hospital at 3:30 AM. I could probably fall asleep if I lay down but then I am afraid I might not wake up and then miss the whole thing.

About preop diet ?'s My doc only required 1 day prior to surgery be a clear liquid diet. All I had was Ice tea & Jello :) It wasn't so bad.

I look forward to checking in with you all soon. And to my fellow band mates of 10-1-09, Happy Band-day to you!!!:smile:

Hi Angie,

Thanks! My day was AWESOME!!! I am doing good and feel really good to. At this point I only had a little pain as I was coming to in recovery. Now I would just say a little uncomfortable. Nothing I can't handle.

Good luck on yours!

      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.
