So I have struggled all my life with weight issues, BDD and depression/anxiety. After trying many different avenues my doctors and I decided on bariatric surgery. I am scheduled in a week and a half. I’m hopeful, in therapy, have a small bit amazing support group and have tried to do all the research possible. But I’m nervous, which I feel is understandable but still. I have also had a few people find out and be unnecessarily cruel about my weight, calling it an easy way out, asking how I can be proud of myself for this. But that’s the thing. I am proud of myself because I have not given up, I’m doing what my doctors and I have come to decide together is the best course of action. I’m taking action for me and my son because god, I want to be able to play with him again. Like really play, go for bike rides, go to the pool, things like that. I haven’t told my parents about the surgery, my spouse and sibling agree it would be a terrible idea.
Anyways I apologize for the rant. I know not everyone agrees with bariatric surgery, and I respect that. I honestly never thought I would get it either. But I am and despite my hopeful outlook I’m nervous as hell. So anyone who has had bariatric surgery have any helpful advice or success stories that can help calm this momma’s nerves?
