I had surgery October 3rd so I'm almost 5 months out. But started weight loss last January. Well I didn't post on Facebook or tell everyone. People close to me knew or if someone asked. I had a battle with cancer last year and my work was concerned about that, so I fessed up.

I got married Saturday February the 11th. Some distant family and friends attended who didn't know I had changed so much. A lady from my church who does know over heard 2 women contemplating "what had happened to me" drugs being one conclusion. Seriously. I'm the last person who would do that. My now husband a police officer by day pastor 24/7 I've never really even drank. Rant over just wondered if anyone not open about surgery ever had that happen.

I'm barely a month out, but my friend had her surgery almost 4 years ago and some people thought she was on drugs. It bothered her, but she didn't talk about it much

Talking about it doesn't bother me. I had someone ask me can I ask a personal? what are you doing" at my reception and I was honest about it also at that point I had lost 85 lbs and almost half of it was before I had the surgery. That its another tool. I don't eat as much, but I could still eat the wrong things and not loose even gain. I found out at church last night and irritated. Everybody who knows me knows just ask.

Lol yep. I've seen people on drugs some pretty bad, tape worm never personally met anyone, and cancer I have seen a lot. None of the people I saw looked healthy. I've seen people w rny who did look a bit sick right before they started maintenance phase. I'm not there yet. Didn't think I was close to sick, malnourished looking. My start weight was 292 my all time recorded high 334 about 6 years ago. I'm not even in onederland yet. Oh so close but not there. Yes my hair sheds quite a bit but there's a lot left.

Eat less and exercising more which is true that's what i say. I can't believe what some people will say they can be so rude! But I didn't have hair noticeable loss that one would be harder to explain. But you look great! All that matters is your truth no one else's business.

      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.
