Boston/ Massachusetts peeps! Looking for a group of sleevers in my area!



Recommended Posts

Hello! I was sleeved on April 13! I'm trying to get a group of Boston people together to hang out , talk, swap stories, progress, recipes, etc. I've found since I had my surgery that a lot of my friends have become distant and stopped including me in stuff because they think I can't eat or drink. This app is great and all, but I figured a group meeting together sort of like our own support group, would be great! We could plan outings and stuff like that?! If anyone is interested, let me know!! Thanks .... Dawn

Let your friends know know you still can, you want to be there to enjoy their company. You can eat what you are allowed to at the appropriate stages and bring home the leftovers in a box.

If they are doing this because they incorrectly feel you would be pressured to eat or drink, that is very nice.

If they are doing this because they feel guilty about eating or drinking to excess and you are a reminder of what they should be doing, then they are doing you a favor.

I'm out on the Vineyard and have a surgery date of 7/18 at B&W. I'd love to stay in touch for future potential support gatherings. I know I'm not in Boston, but I do go there fairly regularly.

Boston Medical Center has a monthly support group for bariatric patients in Quincy. You don't have to be a BMC patient to attend and many young women (problably in their late 20s/ early 30s) spend time together outside of the group.

      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. 🤞
