I am so worried about no support after I have surgery. I have no one to help me. Do you really need help after surgery? Can a person do this by themselves? I would appriciate any feedback. Iam almost there. I have very mild sleep apnea, so I have to wear the machine for 6 weeks and then they're hopefully going to do the surgery.

My family continues to ridicule me about my weight and they are against weight loss surgery. I have had to be my own advocate. I would love to make some new friends here...

My 100 pound chocolate lab does the same thing sniff and pull in the opposit direction sometimes and I was able to handle walking her fairly soon probably three days post op, the pulling didn't really bother me as it really only pulled on my arm not my stomach and the walking is good, they want you up and walking as much as possible as soon as possible.

I am pre surgery, first appointment is January 6th. I've not told my family, we don't talk anyway, but work friends and these online forums, I know I can do it. Please contact me if you ever need a buddy, I believe we can do it, remember, you are NOT alone. You have all of us to get you through this.
