Hi, I'm 20 years old and I'm planning on getting gastric bypass surgery...to make a long story short, my metabolism is almost non existant, and i cant controll this without help, it's a last resort, and I've got a 3 hour appointment on the 29th of november to discuss it with a doctor.
I just need some supporters, advice, and experienced people to reach out a hand to me, if you could...please don't preach, or tell me not to do what I'm doing, or advise against it - I don't need that. I'm new to this site, and I came here hoping for some support, as my family isn't offering that.
My mother says I should put myself into a group home because of my eating habits (after traveling to see my sister and not seeing her in two years, she calls my mom and majorly upsets her telling her I look 90 pounds heavier than when she last saw me...I only gained about 50.) It doesn't help that my sister (half sister) is acting like my second mom, nagging every minute, getting on my case, treating me like im just lazy and im in control of everything i do and im just not doing it and i blah blah blah...the truth is Im doing what I can and Im trying my best but its out o0f my hands and I need to do this surgery, not as a quick fix, becauise its not, as something to help me, along with dieting and excersize...so i can lose weight, if anyone could offer some support idf appreciate it.

I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
