I dont need jealous people in my circle..

Try not to dwell on that just yet. Think of your recovery first. They may be just want waiting a few days before contacting you, thinking you may need the rest (I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt).

Plus, you are going to make many new friends on line and in person. I have found I've become more out going as the weight comes off and am meeting people I have far more in common with now!

Wishing you great success in your journey and many new friends to boot!

Cut your friends some slack. It is a weird topic, a drastic lifestyle change... My friends have not contacted me either. They are still amazing friends. They don't need to hear about my sore belly, gas problems, or how bored I am!! You continue to take care of yourself. If some people are envious, uncomfortable, or angry that you have had this surgery, that can work itself out, depending on how you approach them. It is a big change. Don't write them off just yet.

      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.
