I would like to be a part of the group as well, but I am curious if it is not a secret group that folks could read the description which states bariatric surgery.

Surgery is March 15th in Tucson.

I've removed all references to surgery or weight loss on the page, just in case

@chelmybel I'm so sorry to hear that. Did they give you an action plan of things you could to be approved or reassessed at a later date?

I'm so sorry :( Did they explain the results to you? It is the sort of thing were just don't think you're ready yet, but with time and counselling you'll get there?

:) Sleeve surgery at 7:30 am tomorrow. I am so ready.

I am Catherine 65 years young from Braintree, MA. My starting weight was 276 at Christmas. I am only 4' 11" tall.

As of today I have already lost 25 lbs. I won't deny that I am very nervous or should I say anxious but my beautiful daughter is traveling now to be with me for the next few days.

Say a prayer and wish me luck

God Bless

      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.
