Time To Give Up On This Site?



Recommended Posts

I agree with everyone I miss RNY Talk ,here when I look up current threads I have to make sure they are Bariatric RNY so I stopped doing that and go to the RNY forum to make sure I am with my group! I understand it is all WL journey but if I have questions or concerns with my procedure then I want someone to reply that has had the RNY surgery. As I am sure someone that had VSG or lap band would be thinking why is she telling me how/ what to cope with this concern.

How are you doing? Everything go well Monday?

I don't know what's happened but our RNY forum seems to have died since the changeover. Hardly any new content being added these days or replies being made. I'm wondering if many people have just given up. I think I might have to do the same as it's just a shadow of the great site it was before :-(

I'm kinda sad about this site. I'm a sleeve to RNY revision so I had the sleeve site and the bypass site. But on my profile since I had the RNY latest it gives me only new content on the RNY so I can't see any of my friends or threads on the sleeve side...it's hard to lose all of your friends and threads...:(

  • nailsbyniki, you can still view all the forums, no matter what type of surgery you had. Just go to the top left of the page and use the drop down menu to choose sleeve plication (a stupid name that is not what everyone calls VSG. All your buds will still be accessible.

Wow, I finally found the website. I had surgery 10/29/13 and the first week post op the site was gone! I was real disappointed. I was looking up the RNY talk website that was put under my favorites and it was not pulling the new one up. So hopefully changing to bariatric pal website will make the difference. Glad to finally see some post! At work, when I see people doing bariatric appts I tell them about our forum. I'm proud of our group!

Sleeve Plication is a different (and the newest) bariatric surgery. Assuming you had the VSG you want to choose Gastric Sleeve Forums. Back in the days when I was teaching IT classes I used to tell my students "If you can see it, click on it!" It's a great way to quickly learn the navigation of the new site. You're gonna love the new you!!

      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.
