Hi I'm a married mother of 2 and this year has been a really bad year already I'm scheduled to have the sleeve done Feb 25th and it's coming up quick but my family who knows nothing about the sleeve and they haven't gone with me to any of my appointments and have not tried to get educated about what I'm about to do are completely stressing my out. My mothers boyfriend of 8 yrs past away in January. Today is my uncles funeral he past away a couple of days ago and my aunt is in the hospital from a stroke she had when she found out about my uncle, and now my father is in the ICU because he was drinking himself to death because he's depressed about his brother and sister and sad and worried for my mom. My sister had a melt down begging me not to go through with the surgery because she fears the worst and my brother who is very quiet also in not so many words agrees with my sister and my mom straight out does not want me to do it. my husband who supports me but is still scared and is starting to worry to now because of everyones reactions so now he is leaning more toward being against me doing the surgery. Of course I'm scared but I'm 32 and weigh 310lbs I'm not doing it for vanilty I'm doing it for my health I wanna be a healthier mom and wife daughter and sister I'm not doing it because I wanna kill myself thats far from it but I'm soo confused and overwhelmed with everything going on I need someone to talk to so please anyone can you please give me advice and prayer.

Your trust needs to be in the Lord, not in what everyone else thinks. He has led you this far and He will be faithful to help you through the surgery and the journey to follow. Jer. 29:11 is one of my favorite verses saying that the Lord has a purpose and plan to prosper us and to give us hope and a future. I will be praying 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. 🤞
