How are you guys doing? I'm good. 3 month post op. I've lost about 35lbs. I've had some interesting little issues. Nothing major. Mostly just me getting used to the band. Would love to have some locals to chat with.

Sounding like there are a few of us in the South Bayish area I am open to trying to meet to be with others on this band journey. Except for this forum, I only have one other friend who had the sleeve surgery. Any ideas?

Hi Everyone,

I wanted to let you know of the SF/Bay Area WLS Support Group! We meet on the first Saturday of the month in downtown San Francisco. The group is open to everyone (any surgery, any surgeon) and is moderated by me (a licensed therapist & wellness coach with a specialization in WLS).

Feel free to contact me at taragriffithmft@gmail.com if you'd like more information. Eventually, I hope to get our a group listed on Bariatric Pal (but I'm not quite there yet... a work in progress!!)

Have a wonderful weekend :)

Tara

      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.
