Hi Suzi

. Welcome to,Bariatric Pal.I,am,pre surg myself should have RnY early-mid March at Mount Carmel in Columbus Ohio.. I have hit a minor snafu and will know more how my own journey will be going Tuesday or Wednesday. I'm,not gonna say too much more or I'll start crying and won't be able to text right. I am 72, weight 323 down from a high of 355, 5ft8in so that gives me a. BMI of 47. I can't tell you how long I've been obese so,its say for giggles and laughs most of my adult life. I have sleep apnea, have had arthritis both kinds since 25, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired.I am tired of looking like Bip the Michelin Mans sister. This might be my last chsnce at not dying.And I want to,live, I want my last years to be thinner and healthier, diets did not work for me. I've tried most everything up to and including starvation. Tried cutting back to 1 small meal a day. Oh no my body said, I'll just shut her metabolism down. I'll leave her cold, dizzy and feeling weak. And it did. I have been clinging to this hope of a tool,to help me. If this falls thru what do I do??. Keep praying, lighting candles ask a tribal elder or shaman to Do a dance, I'm rallying every force I can think of. Jewish, Buddhist, Christian, Arab, Eskimo, Indian, I'm calling for your help.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
