In a world full of so much negativity and hatred, I have to say thank you to everyone on here for being so kind and encouraging! It amazes me everyday to see such wonderful and encouraging messages from complete strangers! If the world could just figure out it doesn’t take that much to just be nice to each other, things would be so much better! So, thank you to everyone who takes the time to respond to post! This is such a wonderful forum to be a part of! It shows there is good in this crazy and often mean world!

It just takes a little, tiny bit of effort to treat each other the way you'd like to be treated. I also wish more people adopted the "golden rule".

Seems like the people I meet outside BP-DO IT TO OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO IT TO ME! That is their Tarnished Rule! But I will be going on doing the right thing, at the right time for the right reason and be as kind as possible to others. All of us have our struggles, but if I meet someone without a smile I do try to give them one of mine!😛😍😛

Totally agree! Everyone’s got something they’re struggling with! Keep up the smiling! 😀

I always tell my boys that this is a beautiful world and that too many people focus on the bad and that's why you hear about it. Yes, there is suffering and evil. But, there is an amazing amount of goodness out there.

It's sad we have to search for the good in this world when it seems all the focus is on the bad and negative.

I would also like to extend my thanx to everyone here who is so positive and uplifting. You all inspire and motivate in such a large way.

THANK YOU!!!!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
