Hey Big Guy,Big Fella or Big Man



Recommended Posts

I hate the nicknames big guy dude fella whatever. I am really getting to the point where I feel that that is what I am judged by. I hate it. I have always been a big guy I'm 6 feet 320 I have my Dr. consult on 7/29 I really hope after I get banded and loose the weight the names will stop. They never used to bother me but lately I really can't stand it. I am tall and have broad shoulders. By no means do I think the band is going to get me skinny and lanky I just want to be the thinest me I can be and just be Mike.

Well, Mike, I can tell you that in my case, starting at those same stats, I've gone from "Hey Big Guy" and such to "Hey Skinny!" and similar. It's not exactly flattering either. But it hasn't worn completely thin (so to speak) as yet. I still smile and try to be nice, but it's the same few people who ALWAYS say it, and it's kind of annoying. I've thought of replying with things like "Hey Ugly B*tch" or "Hey Stupid Jerk" but that would be rude. LOL!

      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. 🤞
