I am so sorry. I know this is hard but please don't take it personally. You are doing what is best for you and if she can't handle it that is her issue. If she truly is a friend she will come around, apologize for her bad behavior and accept the fact that you are doing this for you regardless of what those around you think. If she doesn't, then you held your friendship closer to you than she does and it wasn't unbreakable for such a little thing to break the friendship. I'm sorry for your loss.

Hello journey buddy!! And yes...it's like I can't believe it's here and this is happening in 48 hrs we will both be there and probably post-op by then. I can't even think about it too much or I'll get panicky! Ahaha. Keep in touch with me and let me know how you're doing when you can and I'll do the same! ")

Today is crazy! I went ahead and worked today because I am going to miss my students so much!! I drank the magnesium citrate stuff and am playing the waiting game now. I think today everything set in a little more. I am nervous about everything becoming really real tomorrow. I am praying for you and everyone else that surgery and recovery goes well. I will definitely keep in touch and am so excited about all of this!!

Trust me, you will find much better friends out there..the kind that accept you. I do feel a bad for your friend only in the sense that she is so bitter within herself that she can't accept people for who they are...it's really not a reflection on you so try not to take it to heart..i have a feeling she treats everyone in the same manner...surround yourself with other positive people for now and who knows, you just might be the example that will wake her up

Had my surgery on Dec 10th and got to come home tonite. I couldn't go to the bathroom so the nurse had me smell peppermint and I finally went.

Glad to hear you are home! Wishing you continued and uneventful healing.

      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.
