Hello!!! I have not heard from the Baratric center but I called my INC and they said YES I'm approved!!!! December 30th is my life changing day.

I originally was approved for gastric bypass was two weeks away from surgery and it did not feel right, I could not get over the malabsorption, and losing the bottom part of your stomach that lets alittle food out at a time Into your intestines. So I now feel really good I'm ready for a new life!

Welcome to our group! There are 2 other Dec 30s on here to go through it with you! There is also a secret Facebook page if you're interested in joining. The link is in the very first post of this thread!

This is the App to download on your phone or other device: http://appshopper.com/social-networking/bariatricpal

At the bottom, there are 10 screen shots to flip through to see the app before downloading it. There are some pics and sceen names as well as posts clearly seen.

If I go to Google and search for "atlantared" then yes, my profile does come up. AtlantaRed is ONLY my name on here as I didn't want my identity from other sites to be the same. If I Google search my real name, this site doesn't come up.

Hope that helps.

By the way, you can change your screen name if you are using one that you also use in other places if you want more privacy. I will probably change my picture and that should be all I need to do.

If anyone does change their screen name, give me a heads up so I can change it on the mega list!

I think it is being shut down BUT we really shouldn't notice it. They are moving everything over for us. Right now there are separate pages for the different surgies such as Vertical Sleeve Talk, Lap Band Talk, etc. They are combining all of them to one site called Bariatric Pal. However, there will still be areas that are separate for each procedure but also places where everybody with ANY of the procedures can interact.

Does that help?

        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
