I just joined this site yesterday and I was surfing the forums, and I couldn't help recognizing all of the fighting...is this normal? My doctor recommended this site as a source of support as I start this journey, but I'm not so sure. Is this site always so negative?

Were is the fighting ? I see it every now and again lol But clearly not as much as you have seen, maybe you have a skill in finding those post as I have not seen much :P

Okay, this whole post was about one particular commentor, on one particular post, did you know you can actually report a comment? Just a tip for the future. I understand you are dealing with depression at the moment, for some that makes things seem alot bigger than it may be , when I initially read the post it sounded like it was 90% negative all the time, till I realised it was a specific poster on one post.

Goodluck with your journey, hope you feel better, but do make sure you tell them about your depression, dont be scared, they can help you , many of us suffer with depression and still get surgery, myself included. :)

I'm not sure but I know my Water intake is increasing.

And as for the... lady of the month, being a transgender woman, I don't suffer her visits.

      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.
