Freedom of speech. You do know you can block a person if you dont like or want to see what they are saying, right?

This is a secular website and freedom of speech does not come into play. I shouldnt have to block someones comments because they are spewing fairytales of a religious nature that do not belong on here.

Preacher this is not a website for you to be peddling and advertising your religious beliefs. This is a website for and about weight loss surgery. I personally find your comments offensive as I am a non-believer. I am a former Christian and intend on staying that way. Please keep your views to yourself.

Be it known this day, I will not apologize for being a preacher or for proclaiming the gospel, but you are right, this is a weight loss board.

Since this is a weight loss website as you say, I will be more careful as to what and how I post on it, that doesn't mean I will not tell people that I will pray for them, because I know that there are many on here that finds comfort in it.

I could say a whole lot more, but I have learned that some things are better if not said.

The Preacher!

Wow, you sound like you have anger issues. I find your rudeness offensive. Now that we have that out of the way...I'm pretty sure you could've expressed yourself in a more respectful manner. No need to be obnoxious just because YOU don't want to hear something.

And by the way, you might want to rethink your profile name because you certainly are NOT positive...and I'm being polite here.

I'm not apologizing for my faith or what I am, but please forgive me for causing tension among some of you on this particular post, I never meant to create hard feelings between anyone. So please forgive me for doing so.

      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.
