Donna~

You must be very proud of that handsome young man! He and all the others who serve to protect us make me proud, and I don't even know them!

Sorry it took me so long to open this thread. I'm sitting here with alligator tears rolling down my face. Like the others, I know a mother's heart wants to protect their son, but you must surely be proud of him. My son has made mention recently of joining the service and while it scares me to death to think of him in harm's way, I know that my heart would surely burst with pride in seeing him become the man that the service can make of him. God bless your son in his journey. I applaud him for his courage and I pray that he will be safe in God's hands as long as he chooses to stay.

Thanks all.....

Leatha.... You hit the nail on the head. A mother and her son. The military has taken my him from a lost man of 22 with no self esteem and turned him into a man who takes pride in what he is doing and how he looks.

When I hugged him he seemed taller.... It is because for the first time in years he is standing up straight

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
