I hope you are holding up okay. I know how hard it is to bear the pain of loss, and like someone else said, watch others we love suffer. I lost my mom to a long illness in July. Many prayers and hugs coming your way, Cindy

Hi All,

I have read and re-read your posts over the past few days--all a blur of grief and mourning. Amazing support and I am over and over again blessed to be part of such a great group here at LBT.

My brother's memorial was intense and beautiful. He had excellent life long friends, who all spoke at the service. His girlfriend of two years was in Australia on business when we got the terrible news, and immediatly flew home. Lots of other friends and family appeared out of no where. My parents live on a lake shore where our family has lived for more than 100 years. All the houses were re-opened (these are summer homes) and they were all full with my brothers friends. Local friends appeared with food to feed us all. The weather was, and still is amazing for this time of year--we were all in the boats and wakeboarding, which was my brothers passion. Besides BMW automobiles,---where he was employed as a client advisor on Wall Street in NYC.

I left my parents alone tonight--they are exhausted and I think need time to be alone together.

Thank you again, my far flung friends for your help during this terrible time.

Here is a recent pix of him doing what he loved--wakeboarding. He was awesome.

      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.
