QueenTiff 153 Posted August 31, 2017 So I wanted to put this on here because of my recent post. My recent post I had I was in a terrible place and I just wanted support. I'm still in this place of confusion but I'm a fighter and I don't want to give up. I post this because there was so many other people who just basically poured there hearts out to me privately expressing they feel the same way. I know I can't do much for people but I at least want to be a voice for them. So I say if someone cries out for help just listen. All the positivity that I received really helped me. It may sound cliche but I took the advice and gave it to others now I have a bigger support group.

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted August 31, 2017 I think the emotional effects on women who are pre-menopausal are not really researched enough. Previously most people who had WLS were older and super morbidly obese. If you are a menstruating woman, the hormone dump from surgery really does a number on you. Until recently I don't think there have been enough young women having surgery for this to be effectively researched. I still doubt it will be. No one in the WLS community really cares about the emotional issue post-op until people are either suicidal, drug addicts and alcoholics. Those seem to be the only extremes they recognize. I'm glad you are feeling better OP. 1 QueenTiff reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QueenTiff 153 Posted August 31, 2017 I agree this definitely has an emotional toll on women and it's not really targeted like it should be. And thank you, thank you so much for being there Tiffani[emoji1528][emoji757]️[emoji175] 1 ProudGrammy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
