Also, I think with scaring it just depends what type of healer you are. Some people get the bumpy look(forget what it's called) and others heal very well and it would be hard to find their scars.

A family member of mine had Thyroid cancer and they open up her neck from ear to ear. A year later, I have to really look closely to see the scar. She wears low cut shirts and no makeup and honestly, you can barely see her scars. She's in remission. Lucky woman - in more ways than one!

I think scar damage depends on heredity as well, I am a cancer survivor and I had an access port sewn into my right upper chest/shoulder area. You have to look very very hard to see the scars now 1.5 years later. If I put some cover up on it, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.

How about Peter Jackson (director of Lord of the Rings)? He's looking much thinner these days. And what about Billy Bob Thornton? He was heavy for a long time before hooking up with Angelina Jolie. What a freak show the two of them together were! But he's managed to keep the weight off for a good 10 years now. Maybe he had the lapband done in Europe.

Didn't the one nurse on ER have bypass or something? She dropped a HUGE amount really fast between seasons, then began gaining some back---I don't even know if she is on the show anymore.

She actually did the liquid diet @ the Duke Weight Loss Center. Ruben Studdard recently did the same thing.

Star Jones has a weird looking head too. Like her skull bones are too big. It just looks odd like she might fall over from the weight of her head.
You know, I have noticed that about a lot of RNY patients. Not necessarily when you see them in person, but in pictures.

Hi, I love John Goodman from Roseanne. He is adoreable. Maybe it would help him in his obesity battle to get banded. He is an attractive man. He would be even more handsome if he dropped the weight. What about John candy? Had he lived would he have had surgery?

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
