Last straw stories



Recommended Posts

Do you have a 'last straw' story when you realized you had to have surgery? I realize it's kind of self-indulgent to dwell on on those TV drama moments, but hey, sometimes misery just loves company. What was your last straw?

Hi Keluliana Great topic!

The last straw for me was sort of the last dominoe that fell. I still hadn't succeeded!

And I still hadn't succeeded....

when I said I would lose weight because I now was diagnosed with diabetes and sleep apnea and was having difficulty

staying awake because of the apnea and my great fatigue caused by

the medications I was on for pain because I fell and injured my large frame

and required painkillers to help me get through my day at work. I love my job BUT it was becoming increasingly difficult to walk. I was and am constantly winded. Not to mention all the times I say "NO" to outings involving my family because I don't want to be a party pooper or force them to miss out on any activity because I have pain or need to lay down and rest my back.

So not ONE thing but a domino effect.

      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.
