I can completely relate. I work for an Ob/Gyn - private practice. There are two other employees, both very small grandmothers. Weekly I'm asked:

"When are you due?"

"I didn't know you were pregnant!?"

"How far along are you?"

and told:

"You're so lucky to work for Dr. _____ while you're pregnant. He was just wonderful when I had my babies with him!"

I've even had people reach out and touch my belly, waiting for it to kick. Yeah, the only thing that's kicking you is me!!

Uuugghh! Hang in there, I also carry all my weight around my middle, so I know what you mean.

Crossing my fingers you get you approval soon!!!

I'm just beginning my journey and won't have sleeve surgery until January, but I'm looking forward to dropping 10% pre-op :)

Hang in there! I can relate completely. I carry most of my weight in my belly and before surgery I had several people ask me if I was pregnant. I tried "hiding" my belly with cute empire waist type shirts - well THAT was a mistake. Apparently, people can't tell the difference between a stylish empire waist and maternity clothes.

I've noticed that men never asked me, it was always women. Even when I was pregnant with my 2 kids, when strangers would ask/mention my being pregnant, my husband would get annoyed. His motto is you NEVER ask a women if she is pregnant, even if it's obvious (or you think it is). Women seem to think that it's ok for some reason. It's so rude! How about this - if I'm really pregnant and I want you to know about it, I'll TELL YOU! :rolleyes:

I hear you. It really hurts & nobody close to me seems to get it. It happens to me at least 2x a week.

It hurts extra for me bc w/ tye pcos & only having 1 remaining ovary.

Well hang in there, thanks for the support, I see Im not alone, good luck to all!

Anyone that had the surgery done, how is the weight loss in the belly area? slow?

You know what i do? If someone asks me...i rub my belly and say "why yes...six months along..arent i looking great?" If they feel my stomach, i simply breathe funny and make my tummy bounce and say "did you feel that?" ...Later on when they see me again and ask about the baby i say " oh i am months overdue..like 12 months...dont know what is up with that baby! Just doesnt want to come out!"

Seriously..i have learned to play a joke on them by using their own idiocy. It doesnt happen very often but when it does..why should i be the one crying? Its their issue not mine. I knew Drama club would pay off!

      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.
