Perhaps if you opened up about your experience it would make it easier on your aunts to accept and ease any anxiety your cousin might have?

I'm sure it would. My overwhelming anxiety just thinking about the possibility of telling them makes me fully aware I need therapy.

I went to Mexico earlier this month! It was a great experience!!!! Drs and nurses were great. I went with dr Fernando Garcia at mi doctor. It's much more common then you guys think!!! You should still go!

I totally understand where you are coming from. I currently have the band and had it done here in the states. I told my parents and sister of course my husband and they were not quite understanding about it then how about me going to Mexico to be revisited to the sleeve! Uh heck no I'm not going to tell them!! Maybe one day I will and maybe not. They would rather me stay obese and develop my family genetic diabetes, high blood pressure, stokes and heart disease than get healthy from a surgery and definitely not one in Mexico! Just kidding but not really. They love you even your husband though he went about it in the most horrible way it was out of love and fear. Now he would for sure be in the dog house and deserve whatever you give him. We can't give you answers but you have to do what's best for you because no one else will. We are all here for you.

They just found out. You've known for a long time. They're trying to catch up. Give it a few days? When's your plane? Have more conversations. You'll find peace with this. Give them time to catch up and you time to rethink and recommit to your health. Your path. (((Hugs)))

I fly out Sunday afternoon. I might ask them to go with me since they offered. Thank you for reminding me that THIS TOO SHALL PASS :)

I said..."MEXICO!" It was hilarious. He got online and booked a ticket and went with me.

I think is exactly what happened. I started to pack all of my things, round up my items, etc. and DH must have panicked. He knew I had the money, passport, plane ticket, but the crap on the table was his wake up call that I was serious. Until last night, all he said was, "I don't think it's a good idea, but you're going to do what you want anyway." I asked him point blank why he just couldn't show me how he felt? Telling me his opinion is not the same as showing me that he's worried about my health. Ah, men.

You are welcome to use me as a reference if they would feel comfortable talking to me. I went TJ last September for my VSG. If you need my number send me a private message.

That's a great idea, that may help easy their minds! Perhaps your mum should also go with you ?

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
