I hope this forum is helpful when I have my surgery



Recommended Posts

I am not understanding how there are 'cliques'. Everyone has the same opportunity to respond or initiate a post. Are there private rooms I am not aware of? And if there are, who cares? This isn't high school.

When I have a hard time reading a post due to "text talk", run on sentences with no punctuation, poor spelling, etc., I skip them. That's the ex-teacher in me, I guess! I don't even let my kids use text talk when texting. Ha! :D

Smh = shaking my head. I do know that one!

I only learned the lingo because my kids are 13 and 15 and I wanted to know what their friends were saying on FB. (Yes, I make mine use proper English on FB and Instagram, too.)

To add to that, my mother started using text talk with no idea what she's saying, so I have to stop her antics!

My specialty is/was children with Autism (and Down's). What a blessed mommy you are! I quit teaching to stay at home but I still volunteer a lot in the classroom. Such special little ones...

      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.
