Losers bench
Amethyst Acinom replied to FAT TWO FABULOUS's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
My guess is everyone who has the surgery "loses" weight therefore they're a "loser" no pun intended. And going to a bench is a team term. -
Pros and Cons of Gastric Sleeve Surgery
Amethyst Acinom replied to MelissaRose24's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi Melissa, I choose to have the surgery because of family history of high blood pressure and diabetes. I've always been on the bigger size throughout my life. I had children and packed on the pounds and now I'm at a point in my life that I want to be there for my kids and not be just a statistic. I'm excited and scared but the more research I do the more comfortable and expectations I have. I have not told family or friends except my husband and my mom and one friend because I honestly don't care what anyone has to say. I want to be healthy and love all of me! -
