Thank you so much, it seems so many are going through this right now. We had a great party for Dave, with healing prayers offered. All who came participated, and it gave great comfort. I highly recommend these group prayers, there is so much power in them. For all who are in need, remember - YOU ARE NOT ALONE! May God bless you ALL!

I've gone through a lot of the same things in last year. Knowing I was not alone got me through some very dark times. I know we are a group for WLS. But , I feel this group is so much more. If you need a place to go, I'm sure most of us will be more than happy to support you in these trying times.

You are such a sweetie, and I humbly thank you! It is true, what you say, about this site being so much more. I have found many supportive friends via this site. And I thank God every night for them. Unfortunately, right now is an incredibly busy time for us (we're actually in Billings, Montana this week for Dave's work), and with all of Dave's chemo...and surgery coming up, I haven't had a lot of time to write and keep everyone informed.

Dave's had an incredibly hard week with this training, and tomorrow will be the worst, with the defensive tactics class. I have to go with him to see that he doesn't get hurt, because he is extremely prone to infection right now (chemo joys). He has to stay well for the upcoming surgery. He is a law enforcement officer, and these are annual trainings, something he cannot miss. Even though he's been off the chemo for a week now, he is still getting the sores on his face and head, the lovely bloody nose, and extreme fatigue. His bones ache from the shot he had for the low white blood count. He's just not a happy camper right now, and these trainings are so exhausting.

His meeting with the surgeon is on the 1st, and we aren't sure when his PET scan will be, before or after (probably before, I'm guessing). He wants to keep working until the surgery, but it is getting harder and harder for him to do so. He is pretty much office-bound, but with all the forest fires right now, it is hard to do so, as he investigates those. That is really hard on his lungs, so he is stepping back from that a bit.

So for the next 2 days we'll be driving home, then back to "normal"! WHAT IS NORMAL?! Crazy days and unpredictability! So we leave our lives in the Good Lord's almighty hands, and I trust He will take of all of you, as well. Have a great evening!

      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. 🤞
