lamikbb reacted to katelyn.hitz in So scared!
I'm so scared to go through with this. I'm worried I will lose too much weight and not be happy with my body! Any women who were 5'8" and weighed 240??

lamikbb got a reaction from Gary Bentz in Honest opinion
Thank you you opinion really helps. That what I think most abou5 seeing my family who have been overweight their entire life and seeing the pain they are going through the because of that. I don't want to experience that no pain now but idk what the future holds because of that. Not only that I have a 4 yrs old. I'm so winded that I don't want to go play when we go to to the park.

I was a Labor and Delivery RN for 15 years and had many patients with WLS! The pregnancy will be easier and safer for you and baby once the weight is off! You will have to be careful with your diet during pregnancy to make sure you get enough nutrition, but it will still be better than if you are very overweight. You will also be better able to chase after that little one when you are healthy! Start looking for a supportive doctor! Good luck!

Omg!!!!! I'm 24 I'm 5'2 and 235lbs and I'm having the sleeve done on November 16th!!!!!!! I'm in the exact same boat! I'm ready to get my life under control and finally be healthy and happy in my own body! I'm excited to do it know at the age of 24 because too many people in my family are obese and in failing health and I refuse to go the same way! I'm young and ready to take life by the rains and live my life with less joint pain and all the health problems I have now already at this young age

I felt the same way when I went to my first required support group. Everyone was older, I'm 27 btw. I don't feel as though you're too young. Just think at 23 you are seriously thinking and taking charge of your health.

I applaud you for getting a handle on it now. I have always been overweight/obese, but I kept it under control for most of my 20s. (And by under control, I mean I was always on a "diet" and I lost 100 pounds three different times.) After about 33 or so, it all went to pot and I ended up 400 pounds six months ago.
I basically wasted most of my 30s, and not doing that in my 40s was a big motivator for me.
You aren't too young, but you do HAVE to internalize and accept the LIFELONG change with your relationship with food that this journey requires. If you can do that, you are golden.
Good luck!
