Any other parents out there struggling with taking this journey and parenting? I started with guilt. Feeling guilty for taking this risk, the surgery, the time. Feeling guilty that I wont be available for my kids closer to surgery, during and with the recovery after. How to I juggle it all? Just making the endless appointments (at a new hospital 2hrs away) has been hard. But, I keep telling myself....I'm giving them the gift of a healthy active Mom. Yes, surgery is risky. What if I don't wake up? What of something goes wrong?? Am I being selfish?? But so is being this obese! What if I have a heart attack? What if I get diabetes and cant manage it?? Am I the only one whos struggled with this choice and motherhood? -From a mom of 4 kids. VSG in Jan!

me too! Welcome!

Has anyone taken phentermine pre op or even post op? I've just started this journey and I'm on phentermine 15ml (30ml cut in half). I was told I could stay on it, since my surgery will be in 6mo+ and I can only be on this rx for like another 3month safely. Has anyone taken it post op?
