Bariatric Surgery Care Packages-GoFundMe

[Bariatricbro 18]

Hey BariatricPal,

Yes--BariatricBro here, back again. I'm pretty active on Instagram--I'm not sure how many of you are, but there is a BOOMING community of people on there who are sharing their journeys in REAL TIME. Posting their food diaries, their day to day activities, progress pictures, etc. It's literally clicking an icon every morning and getting a BURST of inspiration.

We've changed up some of the lingo on the page to make it clear what we're doing and why we're doing this--this is open to everyone.

We are still pressing forward with sending out the care packages just funded by me personally initially. So, if anyone on this forum would like a few items to tide them by week one post-op:

Think Chapstick, Breath Strips, Vitamins, Flavored Packs for Water, Hand Sanitzier, a Pill Box, powder Soup Packets, Tissues, Lotion, a Sudoku/Puzzle book, Gas X Strips, etc. Send me a PM. We are working with a few sponsors to try and get some samples also.

Simple requirement on your end is to post a picture on here when you're well and able to do so.

Just incase there is any confusion, this is a free service, not a subscription box.

Why the age limit? If one wants to do good I would think there would be no restrictions.

Ah, there's not an age limit. This was simply started among twentysomethings. We're merely just trying to get a gauge on where there is a need and going from there.

Wow. Thank you. I got such HORRIBLE backlash on "another" forum that won't be named that this is a breath of fresh air.

I would love to do this? But is there a waitlist? My surgery is coming up pretty fast.

Hi there! Do you have an Instagram account? We are taking most of our requests through there at this time to streamline the process. If not, that's okay, and you can send me a PM. We do have a backlog at the moment but are getting them out as soon as we can.
