Lost my Neice, Karen.


Vera

Recommended Posts

My sister could use some prayers today.

Her daughter, Karen 21, my neice, slipped in the shower and was found by a waiting freind (they go to college together) that said she was in the shower too long. After calling 911 they tried to resuscitate her for over an hour with no luck.

My niece who I just saw 2 weeks ago at a wedding, sat right next to me at the dinner. She knew about my band and we spoke often about WLS. I told her about Sue and her DS surgery as well.

Karen was about 280lbs and maybe 5’2. We don’t know exactly how she died and is having an ortopsy.

I will be missing for awhile and ask for those who pray to keep my sister Helga in your thoughts, she’s devastated.

I’ll let you all know more later and thank you for your love and support.

Vera,

I will certainly pray for your family's strength. And I also pray that this brings your family closer to Him, insead of farther away. Sadly, sometimes the death of a loved one can do that.

God bless all of you. (((BIG HUGS)))

      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. 🤞
