I wrote something........
On another website, if anyone is interested in reading it. It's a site that I usually write product reviews on, but this time was a short (well, for me, anyway 
) essay about my WLS and why I am having it. I've heard that some think that WLS is a cop out. An easy way out. I'm sure you've all heard it, too. Just go on a diet. Excersize and you'll lose. And so on.
Anyway, here it is, if you're interested.

I feel better when I can get my thoughts out, and I do better if I'm typing. 
Lisa,
I'm responding to your post on the same day as you surgery. Congrats to you! Your big day has finally happen, I hope everything went smoothly.
Thank you for expressing your feeling on what others think about us having this type of weight loss procedure. I think the ones who don't understand are the ones that don't have a weight problem or just don't want to do anything about their weight.
I keep thinking that maybe I should try one more weight loss program, but deep in my heart I know it will work for a few weeks, then back to eating again! 
That's why I have decided to go ahead with the surgery. This time in my heart I know it's right. I too want to live several more years longer, to enjoy what God has given me...
eyes to see, ears to hear, legs to walk with & arms to hug with!
A great husband, supportive siblings & great nieces & nephews, all whom I love so much.
What more can I ask for...if I don't help myself now, I might not live long enough to enjoy all that.
Lisa, take care & keep us posted,
Anastasia
