And they say dreams don't come true!

I couldn't (and still can't) get over the fact that this surgery means I won't be fat anymore. I won't have to stand in a room full of skinny people because the chairs have arms on them or won't hold my weight. I won't have to hear one more time.... don't sit there, it won't hold you. That hurt so very much! Or how about the well meaning but ever so hurtful "You have such a pretty face!" I got one the other day that was a new varation of that one... "Oh honey and you WOULD have such a pretty face!" Like what do I have now? A toads butt hanging out of my neck? Never again will I stand out because I'm fat. I won't have to be "The Fat Funny Girl". I will never again have to proclaim "I'm a happy fat chick" while crying inwardly. There are those that say GB patients are taking the easy way out.... maybe, but what do they care? Honestly they just don't have a clue. Oh and another thing I won't hear.... my GP telling me that everything that ails me, from the pain in my knees to the zit on my ass, "Well, it's because of your weight Honey. If you could just take some of those extra pounds off you wouldn't be having this problem." Besides the urge to kick him in the teeth hard enough that he will need surgery to get my foot out I want to tell him that I worked hard to get those pounds there and feel that none are 'extra'. Of course I'd only make things worse but the urge is definately there! O.K. Marchers, this is me getting off of my soap box... Gayle in need of an March 22nd

So GB will really get rid of the zits on my ass???? whoo hoo! Seriously, I feel ya honey. I think we all know how it feels. Hang in there! Kellie the Bar Keep. 24 days and a wake up!
