This post along with it's lack of replies has been bugging me for days now. I've been debating with myself on if I should reply or not. I guess it's obvious which side won.

First, let me applaud your attempt at putting out some positive energy. With the life issues you've been posting about it's quite a turn. Keep working at being positive and don't let the lack of response to this attempt frustrate things.

I'm not one that usually participates in "grateful" threads, what with being the curmudgeon that I am, but I have seen a lot in my time. So let me give a tip or two.

Include what YOU are grateful for, the gratefulness that spawned your post. This give readers the option on joining in with your grateful thought or jumping in with a similar thought. "Just because" doesn't give folks anything to work with. People generally don't like jumping in when they don't have a sense of what the thread is really about.

Good luck,

Tek

Hey thanks for the heads up that was nice i appreciate it, gratitude can be touchy with people in that they don't know what to say and YOURE RIGHT IF THERE IS NMO TOPIC NO ONE REPLY but i get it maybe in the next post i talk more about why I'm grateful because if you think about it there is so much to be grateful for, starting with our ability to be kind to others.

      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. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
