People must've been really mean to you for you to be so unnecessarily rude.

I absolutely understand. Did you get your work situation figured out? Talk to your doctor? I hope you get to do whats best for you and heal swiftly! I'm rooting for you.

Because you can get surgery to loose weight but it's no guarantee that it will fix a jerk.

mean?

when one makes a new thread on this forum, people take time out of their day to read your story. i have read what she wrote 3 times in order to try to decipher what she is trying to say. i shouldn't have to do that. no one should. in my opinion, THAT is what's rude. and it's everywhere on this website.

people should pretend as if they received a basic education and use proper english so we, as a culture and society, can communicate with one another more easily.

won't help you in life to become skinny if you still sound stupid.

No one asks for you to take your time out of the day to read their story. In fact, feel free to block me so that we can stop any issue now or in the future.

The degree to which one should or shouldn't have to put up with something on this forum is not a finite answer. For instance, with regards to basic education, we learned early on to capitalize the first word of sentences. It sends the message that another phrase is beginning and when proper English was omitted from your response, your communication became cumbersome. However, my basic education has also taught me context so you don't have to worry as I understood you as I also understood the OP. :)

nice try, tootsie. but it's generally accepted stylistic practice for informal online purposes to not capitalize the first letter of every sentence.

and FYI - you should look up the real reason the first letter of every sentence became capitalized in literature many centuries ago. hint: it has nothing to do with "sending a message that another phrase is beginning". (but i am very impressed at your ability to pull official-sounding bullsh*t out of your ass, really)

How adorable, a pissing contest over bragging rights for "likes". Hey, you gotta take 'em where you can get 'em. lol

And I think we all forgot the purpose behind this thread? OP was looking for encouragement and help, can we get back to that please?

      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.
