Thanks! Again, I appreciate it. I've narrowed Mr personal circle of friends and cut out the negative ones. That being said between working, and being a mama of active school engaged kids, and starting school in a few weeks it doesn't leave much time for support groups, so I appreciate Abby friend who have actually gone through the journey too!

I totally understand! We all lead busy lives and if you can have someone to at least drop a note to for a little help its always helpful! I don't have time for the support groups either but this place has been a big help!

Exactly. I haven't been active much lately because my personal life is crazy since my husband hates the fact I had the surgery, which has been hard, but it my was my body, my choice and I let his fears keep me from getting wls years ago. I'm struggling with that aspect but as far as my surgery, it's been good. I'm getting in my Water, and trying to get my Protein in as much as I can, it's crazy before when I was stressed or depressed, I'd eat, now I don't like to. So I just have to deal and keep moving forward.

Yes, he is. He thinks I'll leave him, and won't find him attractive anymore. He keeps saying that 87% of WLS patients leave. I keep trying to tell him they must have had underlying issues in their relationships, or the people let the WLS go to their head. Either way. That's not me.

      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.

      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.
