Hi I'm a married mother of 2 and this year has been a really bad year already I'm scheduled to have the sleeve done Feb 25th and it's coming up quick but my family who knows nothing about the sleeve and they haven't gone with me to any of my appointments and have not tried to get educated about what I'm about to do are completely stressing my out. My mothers boyfriend of 8 yrs past away in January. Today is my uncles funeral he past away a couple of days ago and my aunt is in the hospital from a stroke she had when she found out about my uncle, and now my father is in the ICU because he was drinking himself to death because he's depressed about his brother and sister and sad and worried for my mom. My sister had a melt down begging me not to go through with the surgery because she fears the worst and my brother who is very quiet also in not so many words agrees with my sister and my mom straight out does not want me to do it. my husband who supports me but is still scared and is starting to worry to now because of everyones reactions so now he is leaning more toward being against me doing the surgery. Of course I'm scared but I'm 32 and weigh 310lbs I'm not doing it for vanilty I'm doing it for my health I wanna be a healthier mom and wife daughter and sister I'm not doing it because I wanna kill myself thats far from it but I'm soo confused and overwhelmed with everything going on I need someone to talk to so please anyone can you please give me advice and prayer.

Your trust needs to be in the Lord, not in what everyone else thinks. He has led you this far and He will be faithful to help you through the surgery and the journey to follow. Jer. 29:11 is one of my favorite verses saying that the Lord has a purpose and plan to prosper us and to give us hope and a future. I will be praying for you.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
