I saw a clip of myself on a video at church and could not believe that HUGE lady was me!!!! I cried all day and really need to have surgery immediately!!! I can NOT believe I let it get this out of hand! When I look into the mirror I don't look that large! ????

To the OP:

How much do you weigh now?

If you were talking to me 268!

I keep watching the video to see if I would see myself differently!! Nope!!! Still hard to watch! ????

I don't love seeing fat pictures or fat video of me... and it's pretty much all been fat for oh, say, 15 years... but I still love me, and I think I've got pretty decent self image.

The tummy that will never be tight without surgical intervention grew two beautiful children. The legs that strongly resemble tree trunks hold me up... and the arms with bat wings are excellent at holding babies.

I was 335 the day I decided to have surgery, 305 the day I scheduled it, and 295 the day of. I'm 270 today - exactly 4 weeks out from surgery.

When I graduate with my MSN this August, I hope to be around 200 - and I hope I will still love me.

Someone help me please!!! I was in hospital for 3 weeks cause I almost committed suicide.. I'm tired of being made fun of tired of not being able to look at my self in the mirror I've tried allot of things and they just don't work I heard about this sleeve and I live in buffalo ny I have no clue where to go for consultation someone please help me

Try this doctor! I am praying that this is your breakthrough! Lord, let this broken hearted person know that you love her and that you will help her! Give her a peace and never let anyone tell her, she is not a beautiful person! In Jesus Name I pray....Amen

I just moved here from a different state and I live in west Seneca is there someone closer?

And thank you for that!

I sure needed it

I live in the south so I don't know what is close and what is not! Just google a bariatric doctor near your area! Good Luck and God Bless you!

I tried..

I would try that doctor I sent to you! I am traveling 3 1/2 hours to have my surgery! Sometimes you have to do a little extra as you know it all won't just fall into your lap!

I can totally agree with you. Ive always been heavier but since 2010 its gotten way out of hand. I weigh 316, and 5'9. I have seen myself in the mirror and like man I suck it in, or angle myself.

Well for xmas my daughter got a tablet. I was on the phone and she started taking pics. Later on she told me to come see. I was mortifies! Who was that in those pictures?!?! Where had she been hiding all these years. Its amazing how deceiving we can be to ourselves.

So glad im moving forward with the sleeve.

Sorry for the typos.

I wouldn't take Christmas pictures but next year we are mailing cards with pictures and all!!!

Must be nice..
