Can the FB group be changed to Secret instead of Closed? I know a lot of people want their choice for surgery to stay private. I'm too afraid to join a non-secret group.

The FB group has been changed to secret. Now only people in the group will be able to see/find it.

Sorry about that!

I can't find the group. Maybe it's too secret now. Lol.

Can you please send me a request? On Facebook I'm Delilah Nelson

Thanks for changing it! It will be harder to join now though. I think whoever is in charge will have to add us.

Fair_Maidan, I'm going to PM you my email and I think you can send me an invite. I hope this isn't too much of a pain!

Hi again,

It looks like I can only invite my friends to secret groups on Facebook. For that reason I've changed the group backed to closed and updated the name and description to be just generically named July. There is no mention WLS so we look like a completely random group. If you have snoopy friends, they will see you belong to the group but will not see any posts. The link below will work so you can request to be added.

I've sent friend requests to some of you who have previously commented and can add you to the group that way as well. I just don't think it's right for me to force you to be my friend just so u can be in the group. ( I do however always like new friends :)

What you see when you click the link is the most your friends will see. If you're okay with it, we'd love to have you aboard :)

      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. 🤞
