DennisW 2 Posted September 1, 2019 Excited about getting sleeve next week but I have been fighting more mental battles than physical ones with family and others telling me the reason I’m having the surgery is because I have “little self discipline “. Very hurtful. I’m wishing now I hadn’t told some people. 1 1 NancyLF and KarenLR75 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do what YOU need to do for YOU! Stay here with us. We'll NEVER bring you down. There's lots of support for you. BE STRONG!! You've got this! 1 DennisW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deemar007 244 Posted September 2, 2019 I agree with Nancy. Just do you. This is a personal choice. People will judge, however, that's on them, not you. 1 1 NancyLF and DennisW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
april042019 105 Posted September 2, 2019 I feel you! I wish I hadn't told a lot of people. Still, this isn't about them or their opinions. It's about you and what you think it right for you. They don't know what you've been through or what your day to day struggles are. Even if they love you and mean well, they still don't know. So don't worry about what anyone else thinks. You are the one living your life right now and you're the only one who knows what it's like and what it needs. Good luck! ❤️ 1 1 KarenLR75 and DennisW reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grommie 16 Posted September 3, 2019 I agree with everyone that replied. I found a book titled “Bariatric Mindset Success” by Kristan Lloyd and it really digs into the emotional part of this journey. She is very relatable because she has had the surgery. I originally bought the book as audible and listen to it at work, but since I like it so much, I bought the paperback. Check it out you won’t be disappointed. 2 KarenLR75 and april042019 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
