Hello Akilah, I know the feeling about having questions please send me any questions you may have. I am 3 yrs post op.

How are things going for you now? Is it normal to be scared that something may happen to me? What about the SKIN!!!!? I think I'm crazy sometimes to be going through all of this but I know it is so worth it in the end. I thank you for your time. Akilah

I don't know if this will help, but I was terrified at first. What helped me was that I had chosen an excellent program, I trusted my surgeon with my life (literally) and that I was facing a grave future if not for WLS. Fears are very normal. As for the skin, I was one of those poeple who said that they would never worry about it and wouldn't even consider cosmetic surgery. I'm 6 months post op and I've changed my mind. My skin is very irritating to me, my arm are disgusting and my breasts are not full anymore. However, having these imperfections now is still 100% worth the surgery because I am down 74 pounds at 6 months post op and I am about 20-30 pounds away from my goal. I don't think I'll be able to afford plastic surgery, and if I can't it will still be worth it because I can live with the imperfections, but I literally can't live with the health related issues obesity brings. Best of luck to you, Roni

Thank you and your so right, I know WLS is the best thing for me. Maybe you and I can have a car wash or something to come up with money for plastic surgery lol Akilah
