thats how my life has been to, judged for my weight! hopefully she'll open up to you about weight or vice versa.

trust me thats what clicked for me i thought i was making healthy choices and eating good with leonard ( yes ive named my band lol) but once i started checking the calories no onder i wasent losing fast lol

[smilinginside 16]

ive been judged my whole life as well, being in a family of 4 girls and being the only obese one dident help

[Maddie2424 2]

omg i love that you named your band! did you have trouble with Portion Control?

[alex77709 29]

Really, thats awesome that she was supportive and understanding! I know she would be supportive but I just cant bring myself to tell her, maybe that will change once I have the surgery. I want to tell her because I dont like keeping things from her but this is a huge personal journey and I dont want anything to bring me down. I know people make comments without even thinking..i myself have so I caqnt blame people for not knowing the facts about wls

[alex77709 29]

Thats hilarious! I saw a thread on here where people were naming their bands...too funny. My mom is super small and my brother is normal weight, my dad is also overweight and so is the rest of my family. I still feel like the odd one out though

[Maddie2424 2]

thats gotta make things worse. i have a twin sister and she doesnt have weight problems. i was always so jealous of her cause she would get dates and eat anything she wanted and not gain! alex, my dad doesnt really support me, so i support your decision in not wanting to tell your friend. i think people need to learn more about wls. i use to think it was an easy way out, but my mind has changed

[Maddie2424 2]

Good luck to you all on here, i know how hard this is gonna be for you 'younger ones' it will be worth it tho, if i had my time again i would have this surgery in a flash when i was 20 something, take this opportunity to make the rest of your life what u want it to be.

This is still a medical proceedure, it isnt cosmetic, you have to meet medical requirements to get this surgery, its like people telling u not to have your appendix out, if u meet the requirements for this surgery, then u need it ..!!
