I do not know of any support group from Dr. Bass' office on this bariatric board. The support groups that he has that I go to have been at Physician's Regional (with Sharon) and in his Ft. Myers office (Nutritionist, Marci). If you go to his website (I think it's Gulf Coast Bariatrics) there is a calendar (you have to search for it, but it's there, under "Seminars and Support") where you can see the days that the support groups meet. They are great. Make every effort to go.

Wow I like that. How did you get your pic on? I just tried again????

you know you can private message people on here? Just thought I'd share. I noticed you're blowing this thread up with a lot of messages that aren't really for all readers eyes. :-)

I thought getting to know people was part of support. And isnt putting our profile and before and after pics part of the experiance, I just needed help on how to do it, The last time you were on you didn't even finish the conversation you were in so why are you just jumpiing in our conversation and judging us. Where have you been since April? You should join in our conversations and then you will understand how it all does include our questions and concerns, info and support for each others weight loss experiance. We would welcome you in our conversation.

To those who want to post pictures:

Think twice about it. This is only an opinion but photos that appear here are not encrypted and can be taken off easily and used for ANY purpose by ANYONE. That means you might one day see your face advertising something online or being used for a purpose you did not want it to be used for. I would not rush into putting my picture anywhere, over which I did not have total control. But that's just me.

Yes, I moved to Naples 20 years ago and it was not as crowded as it now is. I wish I had had the experience of being born/brought up in Naples in the earlier days. It is still nice but is getting more crowded every year. They "Paved paradise and put up a parking lot." One good thing: we have more doctors here than anywhere I have ever lived. In some places, like NJ where I lived for some years, it was liquor stores on every street corner. Here it is doctors and banks (not to mention the golf courses, which we do not use). However, Naples has three big hospitals.

It is really important to get your shakes AND especially your Water in. You cannot dehydrate yourself. Keep sipping that water. Don't neglect the Protein. Those things are really important.

      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.
