I am in fla for my daughters college graduation my mother who is not happy the surgery and told me there was nothing wrong I have lost about 25lbs it has been a month. I did not tell her till after I did it all she could say was I should not have done it and how beautiful I always look. this is coming from a 76 year old woman who plays tennis every day works out at curves and diets all the time. she is in good shape I have about 50 moren pounds to go. everyone else said how good I like she said she cannot notice any change it did not bother me just amused me. that is why I stayed with my daughter not my mother on a positive my two ex husbands were they were much friendlier then they have been all in all it was a great day. my ex husband has got to weigh about 400lbs I did tell him about the surgery he said he was not interested didn't push the issue

moms can be stubborn.....I didnt tell mine or my mother in law. ( I actually didnt really tell anyone except hubby and 1 of my 3 kids) I dont feel the need to explain how I am losing, its nobodys business. hope your mom comes around!

I told my Mom I had my lapband taken out. I didn't tell her about the sleeve part. I think it would have really freaked her out and it'd affect her health. She has some health conditions and worries to much. She hasn't noticed my weightloss but she noticed my hair thining. When she notices my weightloss. I know it will be really noticeable.

      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. 🤞
