  1. 2 of the 3 have had surgery and the other person knew that I've been working diligently to get this weight off. One person was force feeding me the idea of getting the sleeve (which we had to really have a talk, I was getting annoyed), the 2nd person is a family member who had to get the sleeve to help with other health problems (that was a very long productive conversation), the 3rd person was hesitant at first and reserved her commentary after she realized I was seriously thinking about it. Moving forward I'm not going to be as open if I'm not asked about my progress. Forums like these, the classes, support groups and Dr.'s are really going to be my guide. This process is mental and emotional enough, I don't need extra uneducated comments or pressures.
  2. I'm in the beginning stages of preparing for the vsg procedure and I just told my 3 ppl in my small support group, how mental this is for me. I'm naturally very private and have already decided this is my journey, because it ultimately is. The highs and lows I'm already experiencing, just reminds me that I don't have energy to entertain what isn't serving me for the better. It's not my responsibility to educate people about what is good for my longevity and health. This is my personal opinion and I am going to be very mindful of whom I share this personal experience with. There's so much to learn and prepare ourselves for, I can't stand for any negativity. I only have one person who I am not sure if I'm going to tell, that's another post...but overall this is a journey for you...
