I plan on attending. My 6 month docs were just submitted to my Insurance for approval. Interested in meeting those who have already experienced pre & Post Op. Is the meeting only open to BP members or can spouses attend as well?

FYI, Alex messaged me. He apologized for missing the meeting but had a last minute switch with his ex and has the kids with him. At least we know why he didn't make it and fortunately, it's not because he or the kids are unwell.

@@Jyoyonomore So excited for you!!! We will have to plan our next meeting for after your surgery so we can see how you are doing and give you our full support!!

I thought it best to take September off with all the back to school and holiday's etc. Not to mention a bit of personal "stuff" minor car accident...and we adopted 2 puppies! It's really like having babies again, as we train them :) So it's been a bit of an action packed month for me and the hubby.

Looking forward to seeing everyone really soon! Love to hear what you have all been up to!

Hi to those I met in August as well.

Congrats Jyoyonomore! (Apologies that I don't recall your given name.) I am also getting excited because I had the band in 2011, if you recall my story. I had some complications with my esophagus, and I've put on weight since having had my band unfilled. But, I'm having revision surgery on October 20th from the band to the VSG!

YAY!

      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.
