I've seen it once before. Very sad. It's probably wrong of me but I can't help but feel angry towards the enablers that let situations like this escalate to out of control proportions. Most of the people we see on TV are bed-ridden so they certainly aren't cooking for themselves or making their own Micky D's runs. Someone has to have allowed this to continue if they cannot care for themselves and has to know they are helping kill their loved one.

I've no one to blame but myself of course because I am mobile, but dang, I don't know. I just don't think I could help someone stay that way.

Did you see the one on last nght.... "Half ton mom"? It was very good, but soooo depressing. I kept waiting to see how the woman (Rene) lppked posy op. She had a bypass, and I kept waiting to see how she looked after some weight loss. I couldn't believe she died. How sad. 29 years old with 2 daughters.

I saw the Renee Williams/Wilson story last night, think it was the 1/2 ton Mom. Very sad.

      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. 🤞
