Chellz423 0 Posted August 5, 2009 Hey everyone, my name is Rachelle and I recently considered having WLS and have been nervous ever since then. I have always been the bigger one in the group, but the fashionista. I love fashion and as a Makeup Artist it's hard being in that industry my size especially being around models who are size 0. Believe my goal isn't to be a model, but being my size and unhealthy is scary to me. I rarely get my period, sick of failed diets and I'm scared to get diabetes which runs in my family. I'm currently working on my list of requirements (taking forever) and praying I could get a date date by September or October. Any words of encouragements, advice or what I should I expect.

greytz 4 Posted August 5, 2009 Hi Chellz. Welcome in! This is a great forum to learn about other bandsters experiences. Be sure to go to a seminar and talk to a surgeon to learn firsthand what to expect. It is so different for everyone that you can get dizzy thinking about it in those terms. Your doctor will know your specific health conditions and risks and will be able to better prepare you for you upcoming journey. Boy, it would be tough to be around models and the like all the time. I also love make up, hair, accessories, etc. A girly girl. Good Luck and keep us updated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
