Because I'm going to middle school in August and want to be able to fit in the desks. Not to mention changing in gym, and wearing the clothes everyone else wears.

I want to be able to walk without breathing heavily, I want to not get diabetes or have a heart attack. I want to ride a bicycle, go white Water rafting, go horseback riding. I want to be around for as long as possible and be healthy!

Paula - your reasons are exactly the same as mine:)

I agree with the comments about living life instead of watching it. I want more energy and to avoid the major health problems I know I'm headed for.

I also want to go clothes shopping and be able to focus on whether something fits me *right then*. As opposed to wondering if it will fit next month, or if it will be too big('cause of course I'm always planning to loose weight) or too small because I didn't.

So I can be active with my family without my back going out!

So I can go back woods camping again, go for walks without my knees hurting, get rid of my c-pap & diabetes (just found out about the diabetes yesterday). To be here for my children and their children. To not be embarrassed wearing shorts out in public. To fit in the seat at the movies. So I am not the biggest person in my family. To be able to go swimming again and not feel like everyone is thinking that I'm too fat to be in a swimsuit. To know that when people do look at me that they see "me". In other words, I am doing this not only for my physical health, but my mental health as well.

      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. 🤞
