Would anyone be interested in meeting as a group in the next few months? We could meet centrally for everyone, have a meal (don't forget your doggy bags) and perhaps stay over in a cheapie hotel? I would be happy to arrange it, if we had enough interest.

Kate :D

It's a great idea to meet up. I don't have my op until 25 August so, for me, it would have to be a while after that. Did you have anywhere in mind? I think we are all spread fairly far and wide!

I hope your recovery is going well!

How about Nov/Dec/Jan then it will give us all time to have recovered... even if it was just the three of us it would be really nice :D I overdid it yesterday soodoo so have spent time in bed today in between walking up and down the stairs. I feel tons better. How are you two doing? I called you today Chris - hope all is well.

Shall we all post whereabouts we are and then try to identify somewhere fairly central? Ooh, how exciting!

I'm in Norfolk, which isn't near anywhere!

Sorry Kate must have been outside looking at the cattle or sitting in a chair in the garden! Cant believe its nearly two weeks! As you know I am at the back of beyond here, but for those who don't know I am in sunny Pembrokeshire. Just to say I think its a great idea and I wonder how any we would be in total!

Will call you tomorrow!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
