Already getting nasty comments from my brother in law saying I didn't need the surgery I was just being lazy! Feeling really upset!

Ignore him - it may be the first negative comment but unfortunately probably not the last :-(

Hold your head high and know that you are making the right decision for YOU and nobody else!

Plenty of people out there who think far too highly of their own opinion. You have to trust that you made the right decision for yourself. I bet in a years time, when you have lost plenty of your weight he will be singing a different tune :)

Tell him to suck it! Or if you want to be more polite, just ignore him.

I was sleeved 1/5 as well. How is everyone doing?

I have had no pain /nausea / or gas issues....just very sore. I am having a hard time getting in my fluids and Protein,.......I'm just not hungry or thirsty AT ALL. Sigh.

I am still doing my best though.

I had to get some milk of magnesium tonight as I have not had a BM since day of surgery.... anyone else with this problem?

      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.
