I didn't know where to start on these boards about this. But I figure this part of the forum is a good spot. And this is alot of info that i'm about to share.

I feel like nobody cares some days. I also feel a bit more sensitive than usual, crying easier kind of insecure at times. I'm under a lot of stress. Even my boyfriend seems like he's iritated with me. The guy's been with me through a lot in the last few years; loss of a loved one, my divorce and the friends that left with it. Now I'm going through this along with prep to file bankruptcy and being laid off at the end of April. I'm not sure what to do. I want a support group and am not sure where to look.

I'm not normally one to post my business to a bunch of people online that I haven't met but I realize that I need to reach out.

I'd say you have plenty of reasons to be emotional right now!!! I was a wreck for a couple weeks before surgery, and that's all I had going on, so I can imagine... yikes. Good news is...it seems if your a mess before, there's a chance you'll level out after. I did. I hope you do too!

Hang in there!!! Ur sleeve will be like ending an old life and will mark the beginning of a new one!!! Once u get it you'll have a better outlook on life!!!

I know everyone says this but really you have to take it just one day at a time.. That's all you can do. In your relationships, in work, home, finances, and even having this surgery.

I have always been super emotional and before surgery was hard on me.. After was a little hard too because of extra hormones but now at 7 weeks post op I am leveling out a bit and things are getting back to normal.

You have every right to be emotional all of the things you are going through and have been through are hard on the mind, body and soul. Try and focus on the good things and not the bad.

EVERYTHING happens for a reason. I have been to rock bottom and saw no way out. But just when I thought it was over things started happening for me and my life took a completely different direction. I know its hard. I truly do, but you will get through this.

This is an awesome place to come for support. Not just for the sleeve but in life in general. People here really care. We are here if you need us

Wow. Thank you Merydia. There are times where it gets difficult-I realize that. And sometimes it's hard for me but I look at it like this: the past 2 years has been all about taking good care of myself. I've seen a counselor, made new friends, started a new life. I call it repair, rebuild and renew myself. I have not always been able to focus on me/my needs and sadly, it took leaving my ex hubby to realize that.
