OMG!!!!! Why do people you don't even know feel the need to give their opinion when they find out that you have had rny! !!???? Wtf??? I work at a hospital and one of the doctors asked me how I was losing weight' date=' so I was honest and said I had gastric bypass......so he goes off on this rant (in front of the whole nurses station) about how I should have just exercised and done it that way. ....and then he has the nerve to say that I will start to look really old because of all the sagging skin!!!! What an ASSHOLE!!! I was just sitting there thinking " are you done yet?". Thankfully my Co workers are very supportive and defended me. What a moron!

MD can = moronic dumbass. I work with them too. I don't know about your hospital but none of our male docs have weight problems so of course they don't understand what it's like to struggle with weight. The women docs get it though. You would think those in healthcare would have a better understanding of the sequelae of being overweight & be happy for your decision to have this surgery & not buy into the bias that this is the easy way out. They should realize that diet & exercise are still a part of the plan for success.

Rough week for me. Stomach flu ended up in the ER due to dehydration, also noticing my hair is falling out...oh well. Might be time for a new haircut. Plus side my weight loss has been very steady and I am hating going to the gym a little less now after 3 months.

      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.
