Hello All, I’m new to this app... kinda sucks because I wish I would have been known about it lol. Well to the point I’m 31 years of age 5’5 and weighing in at 360lbs. I’m scheduled for surgery 5/15 and I must admit the closer it gets I have moments where I’m battling myself with the question “ IS THIS REALLY WHAT YOU WANT TO DO ERIKKA?” ... my backstory is that I haven’t been overweight all my life , I grew up physically fit in basic school & all the way thru HS. The trouble came after HS and after my first child birth... my weight has been a struggle since then! I’ve went to the gym ( ONCE IM COMMITTED , IM COMMITTED ) I’ve lost a significant amount of weight ONLY to gain it back ! 2 years ago I got up to 300 and I was like ohhh hell no , I made an effort to loose weight and I got down to 230 and gained it all back and EVEN MORE ! Putting me now up to 360 I decided that I no matter how succesful I am , it’s clear I need help FOR LONGTERM SUCCESS so I decided to have surgery .. but at times when seeing honest reviews about the aftermath people face leaves me wondering am I making the right decision.

Yes, I keep reminding myself as well that everything will be ok. I have friends I know personally that have also had the surgery and they have been comforting me by letting me know everything will be ok, with that being said I am also sending blessings your way for a successful surgery and blessed journey ! -

Thank you so much for your feedback , it comforts me when I hear success stories! .. I have faith everything will work out for me. I am also glad to know you have also had success ... I am almost at the finish line so to be honest I think it’s no looking back 21 days and I’ll be on the losers bench 🤸🏾♀️ -
