Most of the positive comments from people in my life are well-intentioned, but I still don't want the extra attention... And also, oddly enough, I wasn't mentally ready to have the surgery until I was comfortable with the way I looked before I started losing weight! I worry I won't like my post-op body as much as my pre-op body... Me too 😫 2 1 Dances with Carbs, Caltania and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dances with Carbs 168 Posted November 16, 2019 I have always been husky. But I have always loved me. The day of my surgery, I cried and asked my husband "what will I become"? "Will I recognize me?" "Will you still find me attractive?" I have a great career and it has been the focus of my adult life. My knees unfortunately are giving out. It's my weight over the years that had taken a toll on them and the fact my grandmother and mother both had to have double knee replacement. I want to continue to succeed in my career and be able to retire with the financial stability that will last my lifetime. I hope I will love the new me just as much as the old me. 1 2 Krimsonbutterflies, Caltania and GreenTealael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danny Paul 761 Posted November 16, 2019 I had weight loss surgery for one reason, my health. The amount of medications that I was taking to control all of my various health issues were going to affect my kidneys and liver to the point of dialysis or transplants. Today, my health has greatly improved and I appreciate the second chance in life to live it as healthy as I can. No matter the motive, if you can benefit from WLS I suggest you do so. 3 Caltania, GreenTealael and Krimsonbutterflies reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
