When I sat down in the dark on the toilet and didn't fall in- I said " Girl your rump is Just Too,Wide"

My alcoholic brother called me "a fat f#cking b#tch !!" ...story gets better though...... A year later and 5 mths after my surgery the alcoholic said "you f#ckin b#tch" I was ready and prepared. I said, "that's right you can call me a f#cking b#tch but you can't call me a fat f#cking b#th no more, can you?!?! His mouth just dropped and he walked away and now I weigh less than him ........ I may have been fat but I'm not an alcoholic hurting everyone in their path

Before surgery I had to go see a psychiatrist the psychiatrist asked me why do you want to have this surgery and I thought to myself oh my God if I was to tell him that my brother called me a fat f#cking B#tch he wouldn't let me have surgery so I said the basic thing... that everybody says ...for my health. lol which really has been for my health because he can't call me fat no more. Unfortunately he still gets drunk I just stay away as much as possible

That is so mean of him. We go through so much with people calling us names because of our weight struggles but having family calling you derogatory names must be even more painful.

Well done on your weight loss and self care!!

Thank you so much I honestly wasn't going to share this but it feels good to let it out and I am so thankful that there is something out there like this surgery and this forum to help us with our addiction

A1C went up a little each year until I was PreDiabetic. I didn't want diabetes.

Have since put it into remission and have a normal A1C again.

Also, really painful arthritis in my hips causing me to need to rest far too often when on outings with family. Too much pain, too much ibuprofen.

Was just time:)

I always knew i was to big. But because of how i carry my weight i always got the "you're not big, you're super curvy" comments so i got lazy and never did anything about it.
Then one day i just felt like screw it, this is to much weight for my body. So i had my surgery and i feel so much better.
