I am in month 5 of 6. This has been one of the hardest times in my life. I have lost weight and family. You see my best-friend (sister) died in April due in part to being fat. I do not want to die. I am fat, mad, sad and ready to get healthier. This is hard but I am here!

WELCOME to the FORUM!!!

So sorry you lost your sister.. please accept my condolences.

You are making the right decision. You are going to have a heathier and happier life. It's very scary but thats very normal.

I made my decision for surgery because my health was deteriorating. I tried so hard to lose weight on my own but never could do it. I am so happy that I had bariatric surgery because it changed my life!

Good luck to you. Please know we are all here to help each other. Any questions you might have, someone on this forum can probably help you. There are many people here who are just starting their journey and others who are at their goal weight and still others who are at most every stage in between. Welcome again as part of our bariatric family! :)

Thank you! I am scared but not sure of what. Today, a friend of the family sent an old picture I was only 20 over weigh t. It made me so sad. I just ready to be healthy and live.
 
ladyk stay strong I had a lot of doubts before my surgery. it is a lot of work but well worth it in the long run...if not for yourself live a great life for your sister my prayers go to you for your loss
 
You stay strong, girl. Keep your sister's picture and that picture of your thinner self where you can remind yourself of why you are doing this.
 
Hey LadyK,

Welcome to the forum. I would like to say sorry for your loss. I lost my sister as well I know it is hard. My sister lost her battle with AIDS. I know the pain of losing a sister and I was very angry for a long time. I questioned the Lord for a long time as to why it was her time to go and she had 4 children, 3 of which were minor children when she passed. I don't care what anyone says you never get over the loss it just becomes bearable as time goes on. My prayers are with you at this time. I know it is a scary decision to make about WLS but, it is worth it in the end. You can do this. What Cheyenne has said is very true there are people here that are at all stages in their journey. Come back often there is always some new info on the boards. Once again welcome to the forum.

Thank you all. I spent the day working and make appointments to keep this train moving. My husband and kids think I am going crazy. I am not just determined to get this part over. Some days I just want to stay in bed and drink/cry. I miss my big sister so much. She as a great teacher and after our parents died she promised never to leave me. I still want to live but it will never be the same.
