Guest guest Posted April 27, 2001 Report Share Posted April 27, 2001 Eileen, Welcome to the group. I too got alot of crap from my family but remember no one knows whats best for you but you. Also there might be a little jealousy bit with her maybe she feels threatened by you or sees you as competition. Just a thought. Good Luck with your journey to a better healthier you.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2004 Report Share Posted January 1, 2004 , you're so lucky to have such good support to help you out. I think we all have our fears. I don't think we would be knowledgeable about the surgery if we didn't. I did a lot of letter writing, organization, showed my hubby where all the papers, files, bank accounts, medical decisions, etc. were. Freaked him out, but gave me peace of mind. In my mind, I was going to die early from so many medical problems that this was a far safer journey for me.

Guest guest Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Hello everyone, Found your group online so this has been my first few days reading posts. I've lived my whole life super morbidly obese until 2 and a half years ago when I had gastric bypass and last summer I had plastics. I've done very well, but not lost it all. I'm okay with where I am, but the monster inside is alive and well. The further I'm out I'm realizing the number on the scale truly doesn't matter, its the peace in the head. So I'm here, following your discussions, relating to them far more than I thought. Is there a list of guidelines as far as getting started here, or reading posts is the way to go? Thank you.
