Can someone post a link or information regarding support groups in the Charlotte area? I'm being sleeved on Oct 15th & will be in the Belmont area from Fri Oct 12 through probably Fri Oct 26th & would love to meet some other sleevers in the area while I'm in town.

Thanks!

I have the Presbyterian Bariatric Network Support Group info: Meets every 3rd Monday of each month, 6:30pm at Presbyterian Hospital Charlotte (Center Court/Bobcat Room); Every 4th Wednesday of each month @ Presbyterian Hospital Huntersville (Physicians Buildin-Community Classroom main floor); Every 4th Monday of each month @ Presbyterian Hospital Matthews (Community Rooms A or C).

Then I have info for Southeast Bariatrics Support Groups meeting 2nd Monday of every month @ The Cornwell Center @ Myers Park Baptist Church 6:30pm.

I am not sure if these are supposed to be for Presby patients or Southeast Bariatric patients only or not. There is a number to call for the Presby ones: 704-316-8000 and for the Southeast Bariatric one: 704-316-7760

      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. 🤞
