  1. Only my daughters husband and parents know And I made them swear to not tell..Im not ashamed or anything I just dont want the world knowing my business while Im on my journey..My job puts me in the spotlight and I already have to answer to alot of people about different things but my health wont be one of them..
    I hope your fiance will be supportive of your decision I do think it helps having a supportive partner.
    I told my husband he will have to eat his meals out when I start my clear liqs..night time eating has always been my pit fall so I know Its going to be hard but doable..

    Thank you. I have to figure out some liquid diet foods. I have less then 3 weeks til my surgery.



  2. Hi y’all! My name is Veronica and I’m 20. I have been overweight since I was 5 years old and I’ve just been living with it. I’ve done Weight Watchers, Adkins, calorie counting, you name it! No luck so far. I recently returned from vacation and I realized on that trip how frustrated I got any time someone pointed a camera at me and after seeing the pictures, I am officially DONE living like this. I jumped on the internet, stumbled upon VSG, and have been researching it nonstop for days. My question is.... has anyone ever been told they are too obese to have VSG? I’m scared that I’ll go to the doctor and they’ll tell me I have to lose 100lbs first or something. PLEASE HELP!


    How what’s your current weight now? I know depending on your insurance they will have you do pre op testing and see a nutritionist a few times but mine never had any requirements just not to gain weight.



  3. I'm 31, gonna be 32 in June, and I'm hoping for my surgery end of May. I started my whole process back in September, but my insurance requires 6 months of nutrition phone call appointments. I have my final call this Wednesday so I'm going to get my surgery date as soon as insurance approves!

    Hi saygrace my name is Audrey I’m 27 years old. I’m actually finished with all my appointments just waiting on my insurance approval now. It’s a scary long process but it’s so worth it. I actually got to work on the weight loss floor at my job and it’s amazing how some people are up walking straight after surgery. Maybe we can be buddies share each other’s journey


  5. Ohio, 50 miles from Columbus where I'll have my surgery. I actually live in Mount Vernon, a city of just under 20,000 14 miles from Ohio' s Geographic,Center. Founded 1805, known for Dr Semple, a dentist who had the first US patent for chewing gum, Daniel Decatur Emmett, who wrote "Dixie". Paul Lynde the actor and Me. Ok I'm not quite as famous but I'm working on it. Figure I can be a star on Bariatric Pal if nowhere else.
