Met someone before surgery



Recommended Posts

My surgery is April 10th and I have met someone he asked me to Celebrate his birthday on April 13th. He is also a nurse like me. I hadn't planned to share my special event with him until I knew he was someone I wanted to share that with. I want to stay honest but not sure if I want to share this with him at this time. Any advice?

Honesty is best, and also hardest. Better to be honest now than trying to maintain some lie. If he's a quality human being, he'll be supportive. If he's not, then you don't need him around anyway, right?

If you like him it's best to be honest and tell him before hand. If he doesn't support you then he isn't right for you.

Thank you ladies. I have a channel on YouTube and I talk about this journey I decided to have him look at my video blog. He took it better then I could imagine. He said he knows the psychological effect this surgery could have on a person and he would be there to support me through it. Very sweet man.

Great news! Even though my bf and I have been together for 2 years it took him a bit of talking to be ok with the whole thing...I still think he doesn't understand how big of a change it will be..he doesn't care that he's fat so I'm hoping he will still help and respect my life style change

      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. 🤞
