I love watching everyone's progress, it's really exciting.

I've not felt hungry for the last few days, but not due my first fill for weeks, so there can't be any restriction - can there? I

'm eating solids with no problem, but after a small banana or half a cup of Soup, I just don't fancy any more and stop - is this just my head - or am I really feeling the result of the band?

I've lost nearly 3 kilos (6lbs) in 2 weeks.

Yes, we are home of the KU Jayhawks. It's a beautiful place to live. Small town but not too small! We love it.

I'm 4 days post fill and I feel great. I really think this could be my sweet spot. Is that possible with being only 8 weeks from surgery?

You could be there already, but you might wait to decide for a couple weeks. A lot can happen in that two weeks including getting even tighter. Hope it is perfect !!!!

I finally got rebanded a little while ago and hope to start losing weight soon. Since I dont have anything in my band right now I can eat anything and everything and never feel full after the portions I should be eating.... at least I am not gaining.

Gotta stay positive :cursing: Hope everyone else is doing good.

      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.
