That is absolutely ridiculous! I don't think being overweight is a good thing I think it's horrible for our health but that kind of rudeness in not acceptable!

That's sad I hate that you haven't found any good ones. I have had some great long term relationships. My boyfriend now will most likely be my husband he is wonderful and loves me for me big or lil. Hopefully after your surgery you will find what your looking for

Yes back fat! I never had a problem dating lots of men like big woman but I can't wait to feel good naked o hate feeling ashamed.

I drink probably 4 diet cokes a day if not more he want me to stop as soon as possible even tho I probably won't have surgery till April 6 mo wait on my insurance. Anyone have any tips I go thru awful caffeine withdrawal and tea don't seem to work....

Went to the movies last night and It was a packed house 3 hr movie that was awesome but I hurt on both sides I had no place for my arms and felt like I was crowding my boyfriend and daughter look over and a woman my age was curling up both feet in her chair. I almost cried!!!! That is what I will never miss that horrible feeling when I really see exactly how big I let myself get.

I read people who have wls are more likely to abuse drugs or alcohol is this total crap or what? My brother found the article have you guys ever heard this?

Thanks I haven't had my psychological evaluation yet but I never really thought about it

I hope you feel better quickly and try not to get discouraged. Everyone is different I had a surgery years ago cut from one side to the other a 10 in incision it barely hurt then got my gallbladder out with two tiny wholes and thought I was going to die. Each surgery is different I will keep you in my prayers and take all offered pain medication.

I will not miss the judgment from others. The 6 pills I take a day to keep my blood pressure down not get diabetes. I can't wait to wear high heals run and play with my children for hours at the park. I want to feel as beautiful as my boyfriend thinks I am. I want to run naked on my wedding night and not be ashamed!

my family is the same way thankfully my boyfriend and mom are extremely understanding everyone else will not no!

I am so glad that your doing well and I understand not wanting to scare your son. My mother just lost her son at 39 to a massive stroke he was obese also it is a very very scary situation! Congrats on your surgery! !!!

Exactly how I feel

Honestly most insurance wants one comobiditie at over 35 bmi and 30 to 35 you usually need two. All depends on your insurance tho some do not need comobidities at all.

nurses have seen it all its not a big deal honestly most skilled nurses can do your cath without going near your actual period. .. I mean it's what we do and I can put one in very quickly. No reason to worry also they will give you the provisions needed for your period. Most likely a pair of disposal undies and pad

I am telling my mom boyfriend and two teenage daughter's. Mostly because I need them to help with my youngest son and they have no judgment and won't tell anyone. I had planned on getting surgery two years ago and things happened ppl were very rude to me said it's easy way out. My sister in law had it done and ppl still three yr latee say she could have lost if she wasn't lazy. It's just not something I will put myself thru. I am going to tell ppl if they ask that I stopped soda bread and eat less with exercise. All is very true I am working on my weight now because I have 6 months to go before surgery can be approved by insurance

I love my fitness pal

I am not telling anyone but my mom boyfriend and two teenage daughter's they all know not to tell. I had planned on this a long time ago and ppl were very rude said it's easy way out grr I am currently working hard to lose this weight not just sitting back till my surgery date. It bothers me my family won't support me but as long as my mom and man I love will help me and my girls will keep it quiet then I think I will do better. No room for negative ppl during this time. My boyfriend and I are talking about marriage so I can always use it as an excuse for my weight loss

Me too I'm super excited I wish 4 months for me my insurance doesn't require much just nutrition and psychological evaluation but they do make me have 6 mo of Dr visits and weigh ins I think that 6 mo will go by fast tho. Glad to find this support group I'll need it

I just had my first appointment I am super excited and kinda scared. My surgeon said I am a perfect candidate. I have to go to my psychological evaluation and nutrition class weigh in every month for 6 months then schedule my gastric sleeve. Anyone else just getting started scared and excited all in one

Congratulations
