Last week I finally scheduled my procedure for December 15th. This week my husband and I have started talking divorce. I'm not sure if I can handle both major life changes at the same time. Some times life really sucks!

I'm going through a divorce as well. I just filled 2 weeks ago. You can do it! I'm finding that my preparation for surgery and doing all the research I can has become a great distraction. Each day becomes easier than the last. I have post it notes all over my bathroom with positive affirmations which has helped a great deal. It is a reminder of why I left and how better my life is/will be!

I'm a great listener if you ever need anyone to talk to.

Yeah my situation was quite crazy too. But I feel so much better I just learned to let the stupid stuff roll away and I'm enjoying life I'm able to pay my bills and be a great dad to my little girl. Not going to let one person ruin all that. No matter what.

Also don't forget not only are you going to feel better. You'll be able to do more enjoy life more you'll be able to get into places you never thought about. And you'll feel like finding someone that cares about you more. I know with my weight I settled for someone who really didn't care about me and when you feel better you'll be able to find someone that cares about you not how you look but about the person you are. So just keep in mind that surgery will change your whole life not just your weight.

      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.
