Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
Ticker includes Pre-op weight loss 24 lb.
1) Where are you located? Urbandale (suburb of Des Moines)
2) Which WLS did you have OR do you plan to have? I had a VSG on 12/10/2009 with Dr. LaMasters.
3) What was/is your biggest motivation for having WLS? I've battled my weight for as long as I can remember (and the weight kept winning) and finally recognized the impact it's had on my self-esteem, the activities I get involved in, and my overall health and happiness. I'd tried various diets with limited success, and finally decided it was time to get some better tools to make a life change.
4) What was/is your biggest reservation about WLS? The perceptions of friends and family that WLS is a "cheaters way out" and that I should be able to lose the weight without going to such lengths.
5) Do you have a 'life motto' that keeps you going? "Ask yourself, 'Where will I be 10 years from now if I keep doing what I am doing?'" --w. Clement Stone

"The whole earth is full of His glory."
Isaiah 6:3 KJV
2) Which WLS did you have OR do you plan to have? I am looking at both the lap band and RNY
3) What was/is your biggest motivation for having WLS? I am tired of feeling like a failure on diets and how I feel physically - hurt all the time, asthma makes it hard to breathe etc.
4) What was/is your biggest reservation about WLS? The risks and complications possible with the surgery itself and lack of support from my spouse when it comes to eating out etc. after the surgery.
5) Do you have a 'life motto' that keeps you going? We can't change our past but it doesn't have to control our future.
We all miss you as well. :-) We do have a good support system here in MC. I do hope you find another really great support group where you moved to. You live in a beautfiul area. :-)
