As I start my weight loss journey I get very emotional I've suffered from depression since I was 11 I am now 24. I spend from ages 12 to 18 in state custody. I survived many many suicide attempts due to being bullied about my weight. I now have 3 precious kids. She's 4, 3, and 1. I've got so many health problems due to my obesity. Liver, heart, and muscle problems. I'm 24and I weigh 310 pounds. I look in the mirror everyday and I'm disgusted at the person I've become. About 6 months ago I was told about gastric bypass for weight loss. I was scared at first but I've got my first appt set for August 1st. I know this is gonna be a long journey but I'm so so happy to start this journey. I want to be the mom who can run around outside for hours with my babies and never get tired. I wanna be the mom who loves taking pictures without hiding my stomach or my Arms and legs. I wanna go out in public an don't be scared someone is gonna stare or talk about me. I'm so ready for this change. Enjoy reading everyone's success stories also. Very encouraging. God bless u all on ur journey as well[emoji171] Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in Georgia and they say more than likely I will have mine between 6 and 11am and will be discharged the next day or the day after and I'm a little nervous I've never ever spent one night away from my babies. I have a wonderful mom and dad who I know will take wonderful care of them while I'm in the hospital but I'm so nervous with leaving them. The thought of not waking up from surgery terrifies me. Is this anxiety normal also lol? Sent from my Z983 using BariatricPal mobile app
