Needing lots of support



Recommended Posts

Hey, my name is Katie, I'll be 25 in august... My surgery is my birthday present:-) I'm recently single out of a 4 year relationship. My ex was very non-supportive, but he would sext other women... I happened to find out 2 months before our wedding... So I got the heck out there. Anyways, I'm having the sleeve done, extremely nervous... I'm hoping to become the healthy, happy person I am and hopefully find true love:). Any advice?

Girl, you don't need advice, you had the strength to get out of a relationship that would have been very miserable for you. That may be the toughest thing you will ever do! Good on you! You go girl!

Hey I just wanted to say cool to the birthday present. I am giving myself surgery, too. Hoping for the last week of August and my 52 birthday will be September 2.

Katie you did a very brave thing by ending your relationship with that unkind man.

That took a lot of courage and I think that that will take you far in life.

Congratulations on making the decision to have surgery and to improve your health.

You're doing a wonderful thing for yourself.

The people here will be with you through your whole journey and will help you when you need it.

Take care and come often.

Honey, in a short few months time, you'll be barely remembering that idiots name!

You are already outstandingly brave. Just a little more courage and then a whole new life will open up for you.

The absolute best of luck. Let us know how you get on :) x

So many of us have been where you were. Some of us were strong like you and able to separate ourselves from the relationship while others took longer and had to overcome the challenges of feeling like our weight somehow made our significant other misbehave.

I think it's important to know that your weight didn't make your fiancé sext other girls. He did that all by himself.

You are a strong young woman making a choice for yourself - to become a healthy strong young woman.

I applaud you and wish you the best. There are good guys out there and when it's time, you will find the one for you. :). Congrats on your birthday and gift to yourself!

      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!!
