To the original poster....there is nothing wrong with being a big girl and that is definitely not a reason for you to think that people wont want to "give a crap about you." Some people are built for comfort and some people are built for speed. To put it another way, some people want a small fast uncomfortable Miata 2 seater and some people want a smooth riding Cadillac. Personally, I'm a Cadillac kinda guy.

My 2 cents.

Thanks to everyone for your encouraging words!!!!!!! You have made me smile this morning. I have been out of state for a week and the family I stayed with did not own a computer!!! I was shut off from the world for a week in Chillicothe, Ohio.!!! But I now have a beautiful new little baby girl, Herbie, a 17 year old Yellow naped Amazon parrot. The owner is an old friend of mine who just can't care for this spoiled rotten "tempermental three year old with a knife attached to her face" LOL!!! I have one bite mark on my left shoulder from her getting startled. My mom got it much worse. She offered Herbie a bite of egg and got the skin ripped off her right thumb instead. Bad birdie!! LOL!

Anyway, Keep a look out for my updated picture, I am forwarding it to have it posted!!!!!!

      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.
