after a long coin toss, the decision was finally made. My surgery date is August 18th. Excited but nervous all at the same time. Is this really happening?...yes it is (i keep telling myself...yes) I have always been the "bigger" one. going to highschool with all the skinny girls and being the only plus size girl in the bunch was so not fun:lol0:could share their jeans and they didnt want to share my clothes. i had amazing friends and i wasnt teased that offend. I was more my worse enemy than others. Is my life really about to change? I havent told but a couple of people (of course family knows and are excited....i do have that skinny sister that makes you feel like a sumo wrestler when u stand next to her, so she was thrilled that i decided to do this). I told one friend and didnt get a good response, she wasnt rude at all but she said something that i cant shake...she said that i am going to change. yes i know i will physically but thats it right? I have always been the funny and sarcastic one that people say they love to hang around with...she said, i wonder if that side of you will change because maybe u used that as a defensive mechanism. hmmmmm. so my question to you guys that have had the surgery, have you seen a change in you?
