Just an update. I took action and got a therapist info and made the initial call. Self care is not an easy thing

I've been single most of my life so I can't claim to know anything about the complexities of an abusive relationship, but I wanted to chime in to congratulate you for taking the first step for help. I imagine that it was extremely difficult, and you were brave enough to do it. Congratulations. I hope that you find the support you need and have people around you that truly recognize your worth (including yourself)!

Reality check! You are NOT being selfish. And I'm sorry to say that your significant other sounds like a major jack@ss. My husband didn't want me to carry my purse until I weighed it in front of him to prove that it weighed less than 15 lbs.

There are better love experiences in the world and you deserve one of them.

So, YES! Deal with your trigger in a healthier way. But PLEASE don't forget to deal with what is causing the trigger in the first place. No one deserve's to have their health disregarded in this way. Certainly not you!

Just because your "a big girl" doesn't make your guts and incisions big and strong. They are the same or even less strong than anyone else. This isn't about having grit, it's about ripping your guts open and spending 6 months in an LTAC after 100,000 dollars work of surgery. Chew his butt out!

      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.
