but not in a good way :-( i can't eat. not because of a fill or even the band. I know this is sooooo off topic.. but my husband is going through "saturns return" some people call mid life crisis.. and is having doubts about his life and if he's happy.. sooo as a result. no eating for me... arrgh! wish i wasn't losing weight this way though.

dragonflylover...I'm not sure why His mid-life crisis would cause you not to eat.

I'm not sure about you but I have lived most of my married life (32 yrs) trying to please my dh with so many things in our marriage; I'm just starting to find out who I am. Getting the LB has been for me, of course he can receive the fringe benefits :wink:, but it's for me. I messed up enough with my own issues and i refuse to let his control me anymore. If it were me I would try and be as supportive as I can, but not at the cost of losing ME. Stay strong and remember that we can't change people only ourselves.

I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. If that was my husband and he didn't snap out of it, I'd snap him out. :wink:

We all go through periods in our life when we wonder what life would've been like had we made other choices. We can either deal with it like the adults we are...or run to the other side of that fence where the grass looks greener (and rarely is).

Here's hoping your husband will soon realize that it's not greener.:eek:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
