luv-a-bull

Thank you guys so much for all your replies-it has helped more than you know! Just needed a little encouragement and some positive thoughts to refocus, I guess . I am super excited to get sleeved, and just have to keep focusing on the positive comments, and believing in myself. Janet-congrats on your surgery date as well-it will be nice to share the journey!

Hi! I am scheduled for my sleeve on Dec 13th w/ Dr. Lalor in Bowling Green, Ohio and am super excited! I had to let people at my work know what was going on as they were starting to question my time off :smile1:. I have since received both positive and negative comments from them, and the negative ones are really getting me down. I know that I am doing this for me and no one else,and I shouldn't be bothered by their comments...but truth is I am. I get comments like "if you just go on your liquid/soft diet for months without the surgery and don't eat much at all that you won't need the surgery', as well as stories of their friends that have had bariatric surgery only to gain all+some of their weight back. So, I guess I am wondering what you guys say to these people, or just ignore them? Sorry for the rant....just had to get it off my chest :smile1:

That is great! I just called today and got scheduled for Dec 13th
