Hey everyone, I’m 8 days post op and am physically feeling good but am overwhelmed with emotions and cry at the drop of a hat. Everything seems overwhelming and it’s like I’m having existential crisis. I have faith it’ll get better, but right now it seems My life is flashing before my eyes. Moments that got to me this point, the way feeling ugly/unacceptable has impacted me, the way society believes your worth goes by your size etc. it’s heartbreaking how people view big people, being seen as “less than” my whole life. it was a blessing of a requirement having to go to counseling prior to the surgery to talk these things out, but actually being in the storm and going through it has been a lot. I know having to sit around healing and being in pain, barely eating etc messed with me a little, so I just wanted to rant and get these feelings out of my head and maybe talk with some of you have experienced these feelings. Much love y’all :)

Thank you Wanda247 💜❤️ congrats on your journey!

Hey, came across the tri-cities post and saw this, how'd your surgery go? I just had mine on 11/8, so this is all new!

Hey everyone, I'm from the Tri-Cities area too and wanted to meet people/join a support group

Once I had everything submitted, I had an approval that work week. Congrats on getting to this point, you DID IT!

I'm so glad to hear that! This gas is KILLING me, I finally broke down and go dissolvable gas meds, hopefully it helps! I work at an inpatient psych unit, so I'm giving myself a little extra time before returning to work since it's physical, although I'm growing antsy sitting around here! Nice meeting you, can't wait to see your journey!

How'd it go? I've been home trying to rest, I'm thankful everything went okay

Hey! I'm new here, and my date is tomorrow 11/8...AHHHH exciting!
