This came up and was posted on another forum. Some one asked a question about rather tell or not? This is where I'm at so far. I have only told a few people about my upcoming surgery. I wanted to tell my mom. But she wasn't supportive of weight loss surgery. I may tell her when I get a date.

My hubby however, is becoming even more supportive.

Don't be scared its a lot of information to take in....my sleeve date is 12/12/12 and I'm nerves only because I've never has surgery before. But I'm ready to change my life and get healthy. It's gonna be risk and I think if I follow the doctors orders u will be fine. Just stay positive!!!

This is a major surgery! I went 10 years ago to a gastric bypass seminar, and then 5 years ago to the lap band seminar. At both sessions, I was over 310lbs. Even though I knew that I needed help, I wasn't ready for surgery and the changes. I was afraid of how I would look with the skin and the lifestyle of not being able to enjoy eating. 10 years later, I still don't have any health issues other than knee pain and I am finally ready for the change.

Take some time - the surgery will be here when you are ready. There may even be a new procedure that you feel more comfortable with.

      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.
