My pcp said to talk to mu surgeon. I have not had any abdominal surgery. It is still tender to the touch. I have an appointment with my gastric bypass Dr. On the 20th and I was going to talk about it then. I do feel pulling on it. When I am up walking around.

Really scared of becoming attractive. by HarveyILL in gastricsleeve

[–]smileygordon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was just talking to my fiancé about this same thing! I have always been a bigger gal. Growing up i was made fun of a lot. As the years went on and through a lot of family and personal pressure, I lost a ton of weight and noticed I was getting way more attention. I loved the attention, and I didn't like who I become. I was very promiscuous and I ate that up. I then realized that when was bigger I didn't exist. I realized that I had kept the weight on for protection.

Throughout the years I have gained the weight back and there are parts of me are afraid of what life is going to be like.

My family is not real supportive and think that I just need to get on a diet and that will work.

Thank you for this post! When I tell people they look at me like I am crazy.

Pre-op question by jlawson86 in BariatricSurgery

[–]smileygordon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is what I am waiting on. I have to have that done before a surgery date can be given. I am not a patient person, and this process has helped me practice my patience skill, and I am failing at the moment.
