I've been through this with a few of my friends, I had wanted to keep it to only a few people until after the surgery. One of my friends told everyone else about it in an attempt to persuade me not to get it.It was disappointing because I have tried on my own all my life and needed a little support. My weight constantly fluctuated and I decided I need this for myself. My friends who have tried to convince me not to get it don't understand. None of them have been or are obese. My surgery is scheduled for the 27th of December, (23 days away!) and I only really bother to talk to people who are being supportive of my decision. It really sucks, but I think people who are not supportive just don't understand. I hope you make your decision based on what you feel is best for you, good luck!

My surgery is scheduled for Dec 27th, I've completed everything for approval, now I'm just nervous and waiting. Some people have given tips to avoid discomfort after surgery: gas-x, children's sippy cups to avoid gulping, and baby spoons for eating. I was wondering if anyone had any other tips? I'm 29 years old, 5'2" and have about 100-110lbs to lose. Sent from my SM-G930V using the BariatricPal App
