Today I went to the chiropractor the first words out of his mouth were you have to get the weight off that's why your back hurts that's why your joints hurt that's why you Walk This Way not like hi how you doing you know what brings you in today I mentioned that I am looking at possibly getting weight loss surgery he said well I had 2 clients do that and they gained everything back and it messed them up and they're dealing with more than being overweight now...

How do you handle telling people?

I'm over people saying it's easy way out he basically told me I'm like a heroin addict when it comes to food mind you this is my first time seeing this chiropractor in about eight years yes eight years ago I was a lot lighter but I just didn't see the point and I didn't know exactly how to respond without getting upset I feel like this is my journey and this is what I want to do and I feel it will help me permanently change my lifestyle...

Any and all advice would greatly be appreciated I guess I'm just wondering on my how to tell I thought for sure telling you know someone in the health field would be more encouraging and you know it would be easier because I found even telling close friend that has not been easy and again I just goes back to this is my journey I'm doing this for me I was wondering if anyone else came across this and how they dealt with it and didn't let all of that get in their head especially when you're so excited and you feel like you are set on the right path...

THANK YOU!!!

Consult your Primary!!!! Anyone who doesn't support you does not need to be included. You will meet and find so many supportive people along the way. You chiropractor seems like a negative Nancy (also not a primary or surgeon) and trust me his two patients are not the thousands of people who are successful! Trust your intuition and find your happiness!!! The process will help you and you can get more info with even just a consult. Plus you will have so many psych and nutrition appts that they help and set you up to succeed!!!! Whatever you decided, I hope you find what it's the most comfortable for you. It's your life and you live it. Show haters the door, health and happiness first!!!! Good luck!!!

      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.
