I'm not too proud to ask,,could yall pray for me and my family? My husband was laid off work for 2 weeks..went back to work this week now they are saying he'll be laid off 2 more weeks. For anyone who has had to draw unemployment,,you know how it is. His last check was 3 times smaller than what he is used to getting and this weeks check will pay for our health insurance and benefits. I know it could be alot worse but times are really tough. We have alot of dr bills,,I can't get some of my scripts filled and I have my new glasses waiting on me to finish getting paid off. My son has special needs and I have to put him first and take care of expenses for him..his dad was just deployed and that is really hard for him. I have a large family and all my kids have needs,,they keep coming to us for help that we can't really give. Just alot going on and it's putting a strain on my family life. I know this isn't really sleeve related but the stress is making it very difficult for me to stay focused and I can't really afford the things I need for my diet right now so I'm just making do with what I have..can't eat much right now anyway. Just very stressed and depressed. I have alot of faith and I believe in prayer so if anyone out there could please reach out for me,,I would be so thankful.

Peacequeen,

You always support others even though you have been through so much. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. God will walk with you and your faith will keep you strong. These tough times will pass, but please do not skip on your medication. You need to physically be well in order to be strong for your family.

Bless you my friend.

It's never asking to much to pray for someone. We've all been through hard times and we all understand how hard it can be. Hold on - the light will come.

I will pray for your family. I know all about money problems. We had a rough time for a while too b/c my hubby was laid off. I hope it doesn't last much longer for you.

      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.
