December 2009



Recommended Posts

Where are the december 2009 bandsters? Either I'm not looking in the right place or they are pretty quiet. I've got a Dec. 2 2009 surgery date. I'm a little nervous about the whole thing and really want to be compliant with the program. Of course my willpower isn't so great or I wouldn't be here. I'll be starting Optifast on November 18. Thanksgiving on the stuff will be interesting as I have to cook.

Anybody out there with concerns, questions or just wantto let off a little steam?

Hi sexygma130, It's cool we'll be getting banded about the same time. Yeah, I'm a little apprehensive about the surgery also but I've had several elective surgeries before and it's been fine. I guess what mostly concerns me is the TOTAL change in eating habits we'll have to make. Like always making sure I have the right kinds of food available. I guess also it means paying total attention to my needs-something a lot of women are not accustomed to doing. I just receoved some Protein samples to try out. They're Unjury brand which are supposed to taste ok. I wouuld suggest spending some time reading these forums. There's a wealth of knowledge here.

Hi diana1,

I just happened upon this thread - didn't even know it existed! There are so many. I'll add your name to the list of December Bandsters 2009 (in the 'Pre-Op' forum). A lot of nice people post on that thread. Hey... December 1st is less than 15 minutes way (pst)! It's almost your big day! Aww, I'll be thinking about you tomorrow. Good luck!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
