I think I am a bariatric pal forum stalker



Recommended Posts

I am ready to submit to insurance after my 6 months of supervised weight loss completed this month. My bariatric surgery advocate should be submitting in the next week. I have to confess that I am a forum stalker. Trying to post more. I am amazed by all the support here and just want to get a surgery date after all this time/work!!

I lurked for seven years in fits and starts. Started contributing when I had my sleeve in January. I do love this site, has been very helpful for me.

I am definitely here often! I learn something new all the time, and it is great for motivation!

Good luck with getting your date! The waiting is difficult for sure.

Hehe i think to be honest, that all of us were and still are forum stalkers!! :) and like others have said, keep on stalking! There's so much useful information here and should you have any questions, just ask away, someone will respond and try to help where they can :). This stage you are at is, i would say, the most difficult, it does get better :).

Wish you all the best with your weight loss journey xox

I was a stalker, then fell out of the program for about a month, and rejoined. I am scheduled for surgery Wednesday and I am excited and scared. It is a life changing decision (for the best) but scary still. I have never had surgery and I won't this to be my only time. I did have wisdom teeth removed and a cyst of my index finger removed where I was knocked out but this is invasive, and it makes me think about it.

Good luck~

I think I am a forum stalker too. Do we need to join another support forum for stalkers? ????I think I need to start stalking in the bypass surgery forum because the doc thinks I may be a better candidate for it????

      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.
