Hello! My name is Carrie Hickman. I am a gastric bypass patient, and now a PhD student studying gastric bypass experiences.

I have Alex Brecher's special permission to invite you to be a part of my PhD dissertation study. It's just 15 questions that I email to you and will focus on your experiences since weight loss surgery. The study is completely confidential, secure and your identity will not be published or divulged in any way. Please email me if you are interested in participating, or know anyone who might be. I am looking for people at least 18 years old, who have lost weight as well as those who have not lost weight or may have regained it. Participation is strictly voluntary. Thank you. My email address is: carrie.hickman@waldenu.edu

If you have any questions I am more than happy to answer them either here or via email.

I would really appreciate your help!

Carrie Hickman

      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. 🤞
