Anyone having surgery and under 200 lbs. I have been getting a lot of backlash from people saying I don't need surgery. I have no support in this! 5'2 195#

My name is Veronica. I'm 22 years old. I've been in the process of preparing for surgery. I find out my surgery date for the gastric sleeve on February 7th. I am so excited. And motivated! This is going to be my "before" photo. And I will post photos as the weeks go by. Currently I am at 256 pounds. I'm trying to loose 10-15 pounds before surgery. post-311725-14858409978342_thumb.jpg

I don't have that many "full body" photos of myself because I don't really like them.

I know it is all about you and your health, but I think you look good as you are. This is by no means me trying to discourage you, I just want you to know you are an attractive girl at your current weight.

I had mine at 250 lbs. I wish I HAD done it at 200! I'm 5' 6. You do what is right for yourself. I'd say fatty liver is a big deal and a good reason.

      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.
