Hi, I live here in AZ too and will also have Dr. Fang as my surgeon! The end of April marks my completion of 6 months supervised weight loss. I just had my psych evaluation and have a sleep study coming up in 2 weeks. I weigh 270 and am 5'9 so am just on the borderline of a BMI of 40. Hoping my insurance approves me without a fight. I needs this!!

I winter in Casa Grande, usually from October to April, where I reside at the Val Vista RV Resort north of town. I am pre-surgery at this time and would like to have someone in CG to visit with. If you're interested in a WL friend, just let me know. Good luck on your journey. *-)

Hi Marlene, I live in Maricopa and visit CAsa grande frequently, I am pre-op now but plan on surgery sometime late November early December. How old are you? When are you planning on having surgery and at what clinic? Also you can find me on Facebook under Jennifer hardison and then I can add you to our Phx area local support group page. Can't wait to hear back from 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.

      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.
