Whoo Hoo. CONGRATULATIONS!!! And welcome to the losers bench. Take things one day at a time. Don't be afraid to use your pain medication. Walk as much as possible to help with the gas pains. Any questions along the way be sure to ask.

You should be feeling better in no time. :redface:

Hi, Ive been reading and learning alot on here. Lapbandtalk has been very helpful to me over the last 2 years(you probably dont know me because I dont write much) im not the best with computers. I completed all my test requirements, my drs. office called to tell me that i was app0roved by insurance but they reviewed my ekg and it was borderline abnormal and requested me to see cardiologist. Well this scared the sh@& out of me so I called my family dr. (he did my ekg) and he said my ekg was normal. My mother-inlaw is a nurse, she read the script and said it wasnt anything serious they are a very good hospital and want to take all necessary precautions. The reason i wrote all this is because i was on the fence about the surgery and this solidified my decision to do this. Its a little, no alot scary when your 38 years old and told you should see a cardiologist. When i met my lap dr., she told me they usually dont get people as healthy as me, so this is kind of a slap in the face so-to speak. I just want to thank everyone because when i question myself about surgery i come to this sight and it reassures me this is the right decision. Sorry its so long this is 2 years worth of thinking. thanks again and good luck to everyone. (Dr. Anita Courcoulis, Magee Hospital in Pittsburgh Pa)

I am very familiar with this hospital. I was born and raised outside of Pittsburgh and have lived near OC, Md for many yrs now. But...Magee remains one of the best hospitals around! Excellent choice

      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. 🤞
