Looking for a mentor /friend



Recommended Posts

Hi, my name's Melissa and I been on the pre op journey since December. I do not have a surgery date yet, but I met with my doctor for a consult and have had doctor appointments with the dietician, pulmonary, cardiology, and the two psych visits. I am currently struggling on my journey, as recently I was not recommended for surgery by the pysch. He evaluated I continue my surgery with bariatric and my therapy program.

Hoping to find a mentor, or even a friend for support, and sharing of our journeys!

Hi Melissa, my name is Denise. I'm approaching my 3rd anniversary of my gastric sleeve. I'm sorry to hear that the psych did not approve your surgery. Don't give up, keep trying. I know the journey can be difficult, I've been there. I'm here if you want to talk. I don't know how these forums work, this is my first time trying one. If my info doesn't show up, maybe you can find me on Facebook, I think my profile is linked

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
