Thank you for starting this - I loved reading about everyone. So many wonderful, interesting, and (most importantly) kind, people in one place!

I'm 42, from Ireland and now living in Upstate NY. Hope to move back home in about 4 years. Mum to two girls, aged 12 and 11.

I'm a knitwear designer - I write knitting patterns for publication in books, magazines, online, and on my website (my avatar is one of my designs). I also work part time outside the home, otherwise I would never leave it (bit of an introvert. OK, a lot of an introvert). I work for our county's Domestic Violence programme running a supervised vsitation centre so that kids can have court ordered visitation with the offending parent can be in a safe environment.

I am mad about knitting (obvs), Doctor Who (have seen every episode since 1963), Victorian literature, squirrels, Scrabble, tea, tennis, and football (soccer to you here - lifelong Liverpool FC fan).

I am 52, mother of four, grandmother of four, have 4 furbabies.....hmm seeing a pattern. lol My youngest has special needs so a lot of my energy goes to him. He is part of the reason I did this. My partner is a great source of support and I am hoping she may take the same steps soon, for her health.

I’m a 39 year old working in healthcare management with two young sons and a husband of 13 years. I spend a lot of my free time reading, working on home projects, and quilting. I would say traveling but that kinda went out the window this past year. I’m rarely serious, pretty laid back, and happy to meet you all!

Hi everyone! Newbie here...

I’m in my early 30’s, married with furbabies, currently trying to juggle study, working part time as a GP, and keeping fit. I love to do powerlifting but a series of illnesses and injuries have gotten in the way recently so I’m looking forward to getting stuck into it again once I’m cleared post-op!

      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.
