Hi and welcome relle2190. I'm the grandma of Bariatric Pal., although in your case I'm old enough to be your great grandmother. A little about my favorite subject:ME. I live in Mount Vernon Ohio a city of a little under 20000 people,don't know how many dogs and cats. My city is 14 miles from Ohio's Geographic Center. I am 5ft8in tall. weight 323 down from a high of 355 and am 72 years old last December 26th. Yeah an untraditional age for bariatric surgery but I'm in it to win it just like everyone else.I will have a RnY at Mount Carmel in Columbus early-mid March. I had 3 children 2 living my son who I call my Tomkitten on here and his older sister R.D. short for Rotten Daughter. She lives 7/8 mile from me. She hadn't spoken directly for 6 months, her choice not mine. Christmas her best friend suddenly died of a heart attack. She started calling and,texting me again. Will it last? Can't really say.,i never stopped loving her but many of her actions I dont like or approve of,. Still she was my baby and an only child and grandchild for her first 7 years, Ah we all have our trials in life. If you have any questions or concerns just ask,i f I don't have an answer somebody on Bariatric Pal will, We are each other's biggest boosters, I have learned so much from the veterans, We all have our own viewpoints and all, but keeps things interesting, We are worldwide, some of my BBFs short for Best Bariatric Friend are in New Zealand, Australia, Scotland and north Houston Texas. My goal is to be 175 and a size 15-16, don't know if I'll ever make it but I'm going to give it my best shot. Care to join me on this journey?

Hi I’m super late just joined the app but I started my Journey in January. My estimated surgery date is early May. I have completed most of my insurance requirements. Only thing left is Psych Eval and 3 more nutritionists visits ( next one in a week)... so I’m right along with you.

Yay I’m so excited! I will keep checking here for your progress. I started vlogging my journey on YouTube I’m so excited to see how things change for me. How did the Psych Eval go for you? Everything has been smooth up until now. My Psychologist have been missing in action. We were suppose to schedule an appointment almost two weeks ago and I cannot reach her. In a few more days I am reaching out to another one but I don’t want to seem impatient since I still have a few months til surgery.

I'm sorry to hear that your psych eval was rescheduled. Hopefully you can catch up with the psychologist so that things can continue to go smoothly for you. My psych eval went very smoothly, she gave her approval on the first visit. what channel on YouTube? i want to follow your progress. :D. I am so excited for us....:D

My nutrition visit went well. I see my doctor in 2 weeks. Getting nervous. I'm stuck again. But I'm hopeful that the pounds will come off soon. I'll keep you updated.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
