Support Group In Chicago

Hi, I'm Tamika.

New to the website. I've been thinking of weight loss surgery for a while. I'm scared of the vanity surrounding the surgery. I'm 27, unemployed and weigh close to 700 lbs. I was wondering are there any people in my city that I can talk to as a supporter for it. I'm depressed by my weight and my family doesn't think I need it. As if they don't know, how tiring it is to walk down the street, or how hard it is to find jeans.

Thanx

I am in Chicago!

Please feel free to reach out to me at anytime!  my email is [email protected]

I'm happy to help!  I'm 5 years out and 220pounds down 

Hi Alyssa,

Wow, I've been procrastinating for over a year. I've just made the initial topic post. Since then I've made the decision to talk to a Bariatric surgeon. In my mind I was 700 lbs, and recently I went to the doctor  and weigh 465 lbs. Don't know why I thought I was that big. Thanks so much for this message. My appointment with the nutritionist is 9/9/16. I think I need the support so I'll be reaching out. 

Thanks

Tamika
