What was your "That's it" Moment?
sil replied to TracyNYC's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
ditto jre1974.years ago when my family went to the amusement park.it was a long line.we got in the seat an the latch,or buckle would not snap close.talking about embrassement,i had to get out of the ride an ocourse i played it off.(someone else can take my ride)the line was long everyone was looking.so if the ground could have open up that moment,that was before i knew about weight loss surgery.what a life saver for me.i had highblood pressure,high cholesteral,an diabetes. -
