Baltimore, anyone?



Recommended Posts

Hi there! I will be having sleeve surgery in the fall. I've been very lucky to connect with some wonderful mentors, but I would also love to have some buddies who are in a similar stage of the of the process. I'm in Baltimore, and it would be great to have a local buddy, but you don't have to be.

Thanks! :)

I am in southern Maryland. I'm waiting on insurance approval. It seems to be taking forever.




Hi all I'm in MD right outside of DC. I'm scheduled for a gastric bypass 7/11. I'm about to start my liquid diet. It's getting real now. I can't wait to have a new beginning and healthy me.

I'm in the Baltimore area with a July 11th surgery date. It's been a long process to this point and can't believe it's about to happen. Starting the liquid diet next week...eek!!!

Oh my goodness! It's coming up so soon! Are you having surgery at Hopkins?

I hear you! I am about halfway through the 7 months of weight management that my insurance requires. Today I had an upper endoscopy. I should have everything checked off the list by early September, and then hopefully I will be approved.

I'm also going to be at Bayview. Who was your husband's surgeon (if you don't mind me asking)?

      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.
