Support Groups

2/12/19

The thing I am most thankful for at this very moment is support groups. I’m in a few on social media and they have helped me through so much. I have a question, I type in it and within minutes there are a bunch of different responses with different perspectives.

This is big. My life as I know it is going to change. I need people who will be there. I’m lucky. I have a wonderful, supportive family who are so happy that I’ve made the decision to take charge of my life. I have friends who are basically family cheering me on and keeping me in the real world. I have my support groups with people out in the interwebs who have my back, as well. There are people who understand my worries, my thoughts, my fears, my accomplishments.

If you are making the decision to have bariatric surgery…please make sure you have a support system in place. This will save your mental life. I’m only about a week into this decision and I can tell you, if it weren’t for them…I’d be going crazy.

So today is about being thankful.

Have a great night everyone.
