Looking for support in brevard county



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I'm 3 months out from my surgery and really need some support. I was banded in another county so I don't have access to support groups/events in the area. Do you know of any in brevard county. I'm 28 and would also like to have a buddy that knows what I'm going through and going through some of the same things. Also has been pregnant with the band or planning in it. Thanks!

I'm not in brevard but I'm in Polk. About a hour away. Congrats on your surgery. I had my lapband 3.5 years but go in on Friday for surgery to have my lapband replaced. My current lapband is too small. What are you experiencing?

I'm getting ready for my surgery on the 27th of this month. I'm using Dr. Fusco, and feel that the members of his team have been really supportive. I live in the Saint Cloud area and am looking for a support group a little closer than the Melbourne Area.

I'm in Clearwater (so I know we're a bit far distance wise), but I did get the band specifically to help lose weight and hopefully help with some fertility issues. My surgeon knows of my desire for pregnancy as well as my ob knows of the band. There is a specific pregnancy forum if you're looking for something specific.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
