Attn: Gay & Bi Men:

Would you all be interested in joining a google, yahoo, etc. group (whichever platform i try and see what works best)for ONLY Gay/Bi men that have had or are having WLS, so that we can all post whatever it is that we may be going through that we may not nevessarily want written on vst. Of course nothing would be off limits and it would all be with confidence that it's just us men, it would be private and I'd be happy to run it. What do y'all think???

Hi Jonathan

I would consider joining would be good to talk to other men about our surgery and progress.

Just to make it clear to Any female persons reading this I enjoy seeing their post but I would like to see more men post so we can compare

I agree. Having a breakout space would be cool. I've never used Google groups (I don't think)...is it easy to use?

Lol I don't think having more men post is a problem. This thread is mostly men. I've decided I must be one of the very few "token lesbians" on VST.

I just wanted to post and say that I'm not "really gay," but my brother, my aunt and several of my very close friends are. I think it's great that everyone is here to post and support each other. I'm sorry that no one ever finished the story, I was excited to see where it went. :)

Good luck and CONGRATULATIONS to all of you! Both in WLS & family, bear, etc. stuff. :D I'll be checking back for that story...

Yeah, there aren't many of us here. We just kind of lurk in the background on this thread. But that's ok, I support the boys too. : )

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
