Few Rants & Concerns ....



Recommended Posts

So today (10/23) I am going back to college. I've been out for a week and I go back to classes Monday. I'll admit MWF are my long days beginning at 8am until 6pm, I'm a little nervous about being warn out, sitting for too long, blood clots and the normal things you tend to worry about.... Tuesday's and Thursday are my short days so I am not to worried about keeping up. Thursday I also have a 3 hour night class so I'm especially nervous about sitting all those hours. I'm also nervous about the different reactions and comments I'll be getting from people ... I have an apartment with 3 other people and one of them is my good friend so she already knows about the whole Surgery and things... the other two girls are more or less might be problematic. One girl completely has the fridge taken over and now with my new dietary needs some of her food is going to have to go.... I'm really worried about going back.... does anyone think it's too soon for me to return??? I feel like I didn't have enough time to get back on my feet.....

It might be too early to go back.

I recommend you talk to someone in your disability services/dean of Students office or similar about possible accommodations: whether it is needing extra time out of class, or something else.

One thing I found challenging soon after surgery was mental focus/fuzziness. You may experience some of that which could impact your school work.

Sounds like a plan. I will surely email her in the morning, as well as the dean of students. We have a 3 day policy before your financial aid comes into play

      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. 🤞
