Recommended Posts

Well I just wanted to share alittle with all my family out there. My husband got a job at Boys Haven that is a home here for bad, neglected or abandoned boys. We will be moving there tomorrow. We will have my own apt. which will be nice and all our bills will be paid plus excellent insurance it's only 5 months late I paid out of pocket but oh well anyway I am not going to be resricted to work there but I will be able to help out and make the house my home I am so looking forward to getting to know these boys I guess God knew this was coming that's why I haven't had any of my own. Anyway I feel so excited to have this chance to save $ and love a child actually 10 teenage boys. OH MY GOD WHAT HAVE I DONE!!! just kidding. Anyway I think this will halp me get some structure in my life and hopefully I will start cooking at home and make healthier choices.

      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.
