Good morning, all. I have a huge favor to ask. My surgery is coming up in early July, and like many of you, I have chosen to keep it very private from everyone but my immediate family. I have created a different Facebook page because I don't want pages that I've "liked" or groups that I've joined to show up in my newsfeed or that of my friends. I also refuse to post pictures of myself on my FB page, yet I truly want to have some kind of visual record of my progress and want to use my new page to do that -- sort of like a digital journal of my journey. The problem is FB is intuitive enough to know something is up when you have no friends--even when you ask to join closed groups you may get denied if you have no friends because admins think you are just joining to spam them....logical assumption! Would you please consider requesting me as a friend? You can always check "Unfollow" so my stuff won't clog your own newsfeed and I will never post on your wall--but I hope to keep some really good stuff on there, especially recipes I find for post op life. I would love to have some friends who are also July/summer surgeries! My facebook address is katiemorgan7664@gmail.com . I promise I'm not a creepy stalker! Just someone who wants to use social media for the good it can provide! I'm using 7/6/64 as my birthdate so that on every July 6 I will be reminded of my surgerversary--my NEW birthday! Thank you all so much.

Are you using the same email to log into both accounts? Even if you don't, just be careful if yore trying to keep this private as Facebook monitors your activity and may post things to your other wall in the same way it often does when you "like" or comment on someone else's posts.

      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. 🤞
