December Sleevers?

I am in Texas and other than my parents, no one knows about my surgery. They only know I have a hernia to repair. Would love some folks to chat with along this new journey!

Mine was done 12/15. So far, so good but it's a rough go of it when no one else around you has had it done.

Hi I am new to this site too. My surgery is scheduled for Jan 14th. I was wondering how to tell people too. I am a very private person. My family and a few close friends know. That's all. I don't know what to tell people when I start losing weight. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Perhaps I am late to the party, but I had surgery on Dec. 16th.

I had my sleeve on Dec 21st in Cola, SC. I really seem to be struggling with depression over food and not being able to eat like I used too. I feel so helpless. I feel like I've made a mistake with this surgery. Not sure what to do, anyone else experiencing similar issues? Thanks in Advance

I'm in Texas and only my parents and grandparents know. Well and my husband of course. :) .

Everyone else think I just had a hernia repair lol!

I have also been struggling with depression since surgery and sadness everyday. I cry all the time and wish I could go back. I'm trying to accept this and move foward but everyday I have feelings of regret. Not sure why I feel this way. I have started working with a therapist a few weeks ago but everyday I struggle
