SleeveDreams

I just came back from my doctors office and she told me that she cannot clear me for surgery until my respiratory infection goes away. I'm pretty bummed about the situation but at the same time, I do want to be well enough to have this surgery. I usually bounce back to health fairly quickly after being sick but for some reason, I can't seem to shake this cold that I had for so long. Is there anybody out there right now with any set backs for surgery clearance? Please share Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

That's exactly what I'm afraid of. If I put my foot down and let my family know that I'm sticking to it, they would have no choice but to be supportive. However, I know they would definitely monitor my eating and make sarcastic remarks whenever I want to treat myself. Oh and God forbid I experience weight gain....I would never hear the end of it!

I told only 2 friends and the reason I told them is because they had the surgery as well. I wish I can tell my family because I want their support but unfortunately that won't happen! Sent from my SM-G935T using the BariatricPal App

I am in the process of getting VSG and have not told anyone in my family. I do not want to tell them because they can be very judgmental. I want to do this surgery without letting my family know about this because I know for a fact that they will try to talk me out of it and my mind is 100% set on having this surgery done. Is there anyone who can relate to this? If so, how did you deal with it and what was the outcome? Thanks!
