So Confuseled About the Bariatric Pal Facebook Group



Recommended Posts

Ok, I understand if you laugh. LOL. I'm the old fart who's just learned about the wonders of The YouTube. LOL. And after many years away -- during which time FB moved on and broke up with me and changed...I'm now trying to get into the Bariatric Pal Group and I'm completely bamboozled!

If anyone can or wants to help, I'd appreciate it!

I joined the group--answered the 3 magic questions and joined. I got my email confirmation and clicked on the helpful "Visit Group" link in the email. And this is what I see.

The group is not showing up in my Groups area. And the posts from the groups are not showing up in my personal feed.

What on earth am I doing wrong? I don't want to join again. LOL. I think I might have already joined twice as it is! ROFLMDAO!

TIA!!!!

Sincerely,

Clueless in Houston

I’m not really sure what you’re doing wrong? I would email Bill Yanez. Maybe he can help you out? It’s a great group to be a part of. I find more people are posting & commenting on there lately than on here [emoji4]

Oh really? I joined Facebook a long time ago, started getting friend requests from some very strange people then had some weird women bending over pictures sent to me, Gosh I'm 72, didn't think I needed,that kind of noise so I removed myself. This was about a year ago hut now I see Bariatric Pal has a Facebook page. Is it worth it for me to dip my toe back into the murky Water? 😭

      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. 🤞
