That kinda does bite but I figured it will be worth it in the end. Hopefully I will just sleep the day away haha

Planning my sleeve for mid. December. So very excited, a few nerves, but mostly excited. I have told very few people in my life about this decision so any support I could get would be great.

I am with you on the nerves. I have shared this with everyone I come in contact on a regular basis. going to be hard to hide when you are on liquid diet at christmas. I have had nothing but support. I really was surprized at the reactions, I was thinking everyone would think me stupid etc. Actually I found out that a number of people I know have had some type of weightloss surgery. I was amazed. Now I can take my protien meal to Christmas dinner and not have any grief from anyone.

From what I've seen so far this forum has a lot of great people on it who will help you, encourage you, and support you every step of the way. Making the decision to tell others was a tough one for me and from what I've seen here, everyone seems to have different experiences with it. Most of those I've told have been supportive once I explained the health reasons behind it.

The message people seem to be the most receptive to has been: "I've got health issues that I just can't gamble on anymore with regular dieting. If I don't fix it now, and fix it permanently, I'm going to be in serious trouble. I decided I'm going to do whatever it takes to be successful in getting my health back."

I can also say that the more people I tell, the better I feel about it, but this is probably different for everyone.

Same here!

glad you are here. we can all stick together and give support
