So I am not in any social media sites like Facebook or twitter. But I am ADDICTED to Bariactric Pal. I can be on it all day. Researchinh, commenting, reading, liking. Does anyone feel the same way?

Who me? Yep, I'm addicted too, but this is a healthy addiction. I'm sure at some point it will taper off but I don't anticipate that being for well over a year from now. There's too much to learn and share to leave so quickly.

Guilty here too...

I spend my work days with this site 'on' in the background...

I'm assuming that it's all a matter of where you're up to in your mission...

I'm 9 months post-op so I'm still very much lapping up the information...

Plus, on the odd occasion, the company in here isn't too bad...

I think it would be an interesting study to compare WLS patients that frequently engage here versus those that attend support groups versus those that don't seek outside support. This site has been has been absolutely vital to my WLS journey, and I know will play a huge role in my long term success.

Soooooooooo ADDICTED!!!!!

it's worse than my Netflix addiction! In fact, I have been watching Netflix for 3 episodes of Longmire, and have no idea what I just watched because I've been catching up on BP!

Love you all! ????

Please don't let them make a 12 step program. Do we get a coin or something. Ooh no we have our tools. ????

I think I am addicted too! I am in UK no support groups here where I live in Wales so its Bariatric Pal to the rescue. Some posts make me laugh out loud, others make me want to weep they are so sad. So thanks to all the people who I read about and their messages, far too many to mention individually but please everyone, keep on posting!

      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. 🤞
