And as long as I got my suit and tie

I'ma leave it all on the floor tonight

And you got fixed up to the nines

Let me show you a few things

All pressed up in black and white

And you're dressed in that dress I like

Love is swinging in the air tonight

Let me show you a few things

Let me show you a few things

Show you a few things about love

Now we're in the swing of love

Let me show you a few things

Show you a few things about love

I tend to read things very literally over the threads unless there is some kind of huge red flag that it is sarcasm and that has caused some issues for me here. IMO, sarcasm doesn't translate well in this setting and should be avoided but thats just me and I have my own biases. Sometimes I do question people though because I'm not really here to hold hands and tell someone everything is going to be OK when they are really making every huge mistake in the book. I don't think validating people like that is really a good move, but after much headbutting I have learned to just pass those threads over. I'd rather give it zero attention then say something that blows it up to 12 pages of back and forth nastiness.

I think more and more I am finding myself saving my time for people asking real questions on legitimate topics not "omgeee I hate 4 cheeseburgers tell me everything is fine" (not that it happens like that but you get my point)

Stating for people to keep negativity to themselves is irrelevant when this is a public forum..we have weight issues that aren't to be candy coated in my opinion .. I say any information from the vets harsh or not should be appreciated.. Unless its considered down right mean or hateful. that of which I have yet to see but bringing up negativity in such a way leaves it wide open for all to speak on .. So, happy happy happy all~~~~

      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.
