I go through almost every post, but some posts look shady and unreliable. Just wanted to know, I know every open site does. But some post on here are random, I alway look at how many posts someone has and the topic they choose to talk about.

Just an obvservation

Trolls are people that will come on here, and make a WAY off the wall comment, "just to get you going". Some people can spot them right away, others feed them by responding.

I didn't have this site when I was waiting or losing wish I would have. Maybe it's my teaching background but I try to contribute honest opinions and help. There are days I absolutely have to say HELLO who is your DR. are you for real........

And then I look up profiles..

MY only wish is someone new would follow the threads so they would know a lot of what they are asking has been asked and answered quite a few times. THe old saying there are no dumb questions.............. somedays I think there really are. However having said that I either do not answer those or leave it to the sweeter folks.

I have been successful on this journey and I want that for every one out there with all my heart, but I will give whoever ask the facts as I have lived them and I was the one of the most rebellious , self hating ,people around and gaining control over this area of my life has been the best thing I have ever done for myself and I want it for every person who comes on and want help.

It's to be expected for the same questions to be asked over & over . It's just the way it is on any forum.

They get a kick out of scaring potential banders & newbies. If the story is way out there, most likely not true.

      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
