Looking for early July buddy!



Recommended Posts

Hey July peeps! Got my approval from Aetna yesterday -- I am good to go. July 6 7:30 AM! So anybody who wants to start a July support group--how do we do this? Friend each other on FB? I personally Believe I would really benefit having people to talk with Who are at the same point I am...I can be found under Katie Morgan on FB. I don't have a profile picture posted yet,?but my cover photo is a sunset on the lake. This is a separate Facebook account I use just for my weight loss journey. Thanks and good luck everyone!

Hey...we're almost having our surgery at the same time. My doctor's office just called and there was an opening for 7/6, reporting at 8:30am...this is one day earlier from my original 7/7 date. I agreed, as I had already taken the week off and I'm so sick of this liquid diet.

Hello all

Its so exciting to hear/read your stories. I was shooting for a July surgery but during the pre-tests (endoscopy) they discovered ulcers and I have H. Pylori ????

So mega treatment had to get rid of these things. (More $) and another 6 weeks of delay.

I'm very happy to stumble across this app and wish you all a successful? positive and happy journey.

Here's hoping I'm not far behind. ????

Zasha.

      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.
