Look this sight has a lot of mean and angry ppl on it. If u are mean for no reason dont answer ppls questions. Some ppl come on this sight for support or advise N some of y'all when u reply Are so mean N evil it's crazy. Have y'all ever thought abt maybe someone might be an emotionAl eAter and with the surgery they can't and maybe your evil comment or reply might put someone over the edge. My god ppl come on we all r going down the same journey some ppl it's going to be harder then others. Try and be nice and caring when answering to posts. I am sick of y'all nasty comments and when I see them I pray to god the person who recieved the comment is strong enough to take it.

Over the edge of what?

I'd rather hear the truth, than platitudes.

Not sure what you're referring too, but I'm not sure I've ever seen a mean spirited comment on this forum. I do see people be bluntly honest and refuse to coddle people, but always for their own good never mean spirited.

Just my two cents based on what I've seen.

I've seen Alot of "know it all" comments. I've also seen people who come off as if they are so perfect and never make a mistake. It really burns me up when I see it.

I think the problem is that this is the internet. When you read a typed message you cannot see the facial expressions or the body language. Therefore a typed message that is direct and to the point may come across as abrupt or uncaring. People should read the content and stop trying to analyse the emotion behind it.

The other thing people forget is that most of us lead busy lives. It takes time to type responses and sometimes there are lots that require some kind of response. We don't have time to dress things up and add kittens and fairydust etc.

I think most of us do care or we wouldn't still be here years after getting our bands and losing what we needed to lose.

I thought people were behaving pretty well here. It was much worse in 2009, but even then was pretty tame when you compare with other places online. I read/post pretty much every day and I guess I could have missed all this mean, evil and angry stuff you are talking about.

I think if you ask a question you have to know you are gonna get all types of answers because we are all different people with our own opinions.

If you don't want what people really think I say don't ask. I have never seen people be “evil” sometimes the truth hurts us all!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
