Can someone help me?



Recommended Posts

So before I start, let me just say that tomorrow I am going to seek a legal counselor and ask these questions but figured i'd ask here to see if anyone has ever experienced this themselves....

I'm a single mother to a 3 year old daughter, her father is active military and is stationed in Colorado(we are in Texas & he is moving back in spring of 2014). I am currently going through my 3-month supervised diet, and i've been thinking and researching everything I possibly can about the sleeve. Now, I know death is very rare with the sleeve but there is always that possibility and I want to be sure I am prepared for the unexpected..god forbid something goes wrong, I want my mother and my daughters father to have joint custody because I know if he had sole custody he would not keep in contact with my side of the family, which would be heartbreaking for my little one.

So, who do I contact about this? or is it even possible to have it arranged? or would my ex and mother have to file joint custody themselves? Sorry for all the questions i'm just kind of lost as to where to start or what to do....

You can do a will...any lawyer can provide the information that you need for the will and can also tell you if it is legally binding. there may be a problem because he is a live. I am no expert by far but a lawyer will be able to tell you all you need to know about this situation.

I had to do something like this as well. Except my daughters father is a piece of crap! I want my father to have custody just "in-case", I did a will and a custody upon death form as well with a lawyer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
