    blapstev got a reaction from nervous nana in Unsupportive Family   
    My sixth weigh-in is this week, so my surgery is quickly approaching! My family has already make rude comments like this procedure is unnatural, I will re-gain my weight , they'd rather be fat than have excess skin, etc.
    I am not one of those people that need to be coddled through this entire process; however, I will not take too much from then. Sabotage is expected, especially when you're surrounded by people bigger than you..
    I would hope that if I remain humble and not try to act like a fitness coach that they'd be happy for me.. If not, I'll just wash my hands of them.. I don't need that
    I'm debating on telling everyone that I've changed my mind and that I in fact am not having the surgery anymore. Of course I'll still have the procedure and do my best to hide it from them.. Good idea or no?
    Would you guys tell your family if you could all over again?
    Thanks,
    Blake

    blapstev got a reaction from ccwolf3 in Younger Guys (25-)   
    Hi everyone, I am 21 years old, 5'10'' and 340 lbs. My bmi is basically 50 (49.7)
    I have 3 more weigh-ins for the insurance. My surgery should be around October. I want to see 180-190, am I being unrealistic? Also, I am still battling the bypass verses the sleeve, would you all mind sharing what made you choose RNY?
