I have been going through so many changes with my weight the up and down scale. You try everything but it may work just for a little while, you see yourself as a be big fat person with no will power. I hate people when they say you just need to cut back or why don't you do something about it. People talk but they don't know my story. Sometimes it best to just walk away and pray because people can cut through you and mostly it's your family. Prayer works because I am going for surgery on December 9th. Please pray for me.

@@angewil60 what you say about family is sooooooooooooo true. A lot of people want to criticize but don't want to be advocates when it comes to a solution.

Walking away and praying is really the best you can do. Especially at family gatherings when things can quickly escalate to nuclear levels

Today was hard , thank God I have people like you that really understand all your mind goes through. My family all they see is weight loss and the fact you will weigh less then they, they do not see all what could happen and all the things that you will and are facing. You see my diabetes can be control no more c-pap and many other issues that weight is related to. People don't see that they just think that it's all about just being small. My family some have Han some type of surgery but most have put the weight back on and others just think you are going to lose or look better than they do. I am blessed to have my husband and my children to support me but most of all I have Gods protection all around me. I am very blessed and I am praying for all of us as we go through each day. That we learn to look at our e and learn how to LOVE yourself and your body. Keep you in all my prayers.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
