This is my first time on here. My gastric sleeve surgery is scheduled for Monday, September 18th, I'm super excited, I've always been under weight, but after a second back surgery in 2010 I've packed on the pounds. I can't exercise like I used to do to chronic pain, of course with the extra weight I suffer from depression and anxiety, my self esteem is zero. I'm excited to begin this new journey and will need all of the support I can get! Like Erin09 said no one knows how it feels unless you've been through it. I'll be checking back in after surgery. Goodluck everyone. Sent from my SM-G955U using BariatricPal mobile app
