Need to Find an Online Meeting



Recommended Posts

Hello,

I am Terry. My surgery is scheduled for June 12. One of the rules that my doctor has is that I attend at least one support group meeting before surgery. I have no problem with this, but there are no support group meeting that I can attend before June 12. If I can find a online chat group or live online meeting group hopefully that will meet the requirement. I would greatly appreciate if any of you could give me some suggestions.

Hi Terry,

This site has a chat function, though it's rarely used. Why not schedule a time and say you'll be hosting an online meeting here? Just make an announcement about the date and time (make sure you say which time zone you're in), and at the appointed time go to the chat area. Hopefully some other people will come in and join you, and voila! An online support group meeting.

Decide what would be a good time for you and we can make a couple of announcements about it.

Terry,

Quick question, are you really 92 years of age, or do you mean 29? Is that a typo? If not, I'd say you belong in the Guiness Book of World Records! :o

      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.
