Facebook ....I just made my VSG FB offical!



Recommended Posts

Good for you!

I think I might be gaining bravery--once I have an official date, I just might have the nerve to let my FB friends know what I'm doing. I hope everyone on your list is supportive, or else smart enough to keep their non-supportive opinions to themselves! ;)

I have been trying to decide whether I am going to make it FB official. I don't think I can deal with people's comments. I told my dad last month and he didn't have anything nice to say about it. It's kind of turned me off from sharing with others.

Good for you! I posted a note about it the day after my 49th birthday. I haven't received one single negative comment, but don't even mind if I do. That's a problem with the other person, not me, and I would ignore it. You go, girl!

I actually went and made a separate list for any statuses related to my wls. I chose people on my fb that I trusted as well as close family members that already knew. Good luck!

I'm 31 and I've got a GREAT bunch of friends! So far no one has had any boneheaded comments. I don't care if I get one. I'll be glad to let them go from my FB life. I know lots of folks who don't really know in person 1/2 of their FB friends...well, I have a VERY large family (over 125 first cousins) I have 11 siblings. And I went to boarding school. So most of mine are people I consider family anyway. I told my Husband I made it FBO and he thinks it was a good choice. I mean we put on there about traffic, idiots at Walmart, when our kids do great things....why not put-(this is not how I worded it) I'm getting healthy & hot at the same time bc I decided its time to change physical me-which is going to end up changing (a little at least) inside me. :)

      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
