I'm a Field Representative for a Plumbing, Mechanical, and Electrical design firm. I go to job sites and ,make sure that contractors are installing our designs per plans and specifications.

My job requires a lot of driving, long hours on my feet, climbing ladders, etc. So getting the weight off is critical for me.

I've been a police officer for a little over 15 years and am finally fitting back into uniforms I havn't been able to wear for a very long time.

Police uniforms are not fat friendly... Imagine getting a fat roll pinched between your body armor vest and your gun belt.

All right... knock off the donut jokes... LOL... New Yawk Lawyah jokes are funnier anyways...

      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.
