No they dont support each other and those sort of people i really hope stay out of our site.

If i hadnt found this site id be stressing about this week but im really cool and prepared. I'll let you all know what he said as soon as i walk in the front door. i'll probably tell you all before my family because your my main support network and i need all of you to be there throughout my journey.

11am but knowing me i'll be sitting in his office by 10am because im an early bird plus i'll be nervous and anxious. Apparently he is usually running at least 1 hour late. Expect my post inbetween 1-2.30.

'im so exited and i just cant hide it, im about to loose control and i just cant fight it'.... that damn song has been in my head all day!!!!

So a woman at my work was just talking to me about my gym, she goes there too, but during lunch (I go straight from work) and I mentioned to her that I had lost about 20 kilos. She said "oh really? I hadn't really noticed at all. You must carry your weight well". I feel really deflated now. 20 kilos is A LOT and I have lost 3 dress sizes too, but apparently I still look the same at 93 as I did at 115?? How does that work. Bah!

Pffft. It's annoying but it does tend to work that way. Dont worry, as you have less to lose even a kilo becomes noticeable.

      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.
