You're welcome! I love doing stuff like this. ???? since it's private I'll need a way to find everybody on Facebook so I can add you as a member. We want to call it Cool Beginnings?

Is that how you find us on FB? By our name? Duh I guess so... I am Marlene ALtman in SF Bay Area CA. And yes "COOL BEGINNINGS" is a GREAT title for the group! Much more positive and certainly better than what I'd suggested earlier ("COOL LOSERS"- ugh) . THX for setting this up ;-)

I wasn't kidding when I said I was technically challenged! Do you need my FB sign in name or my real name or what if I set up a FB page strictly for this, then what is needed?

I need your real name that you use on Facebook. If it's a popular name then I'll also need a description of your profile picture or something. Thanks!

I've been adding everybody to the group but I'm not sure if it's working.

      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.
