Presentation

Now I know that I have gone through the surgery too but I need some more pro's and con's of the surgery.... I am doing an oral presentation on Wed the 29th for one of my college courses. Anything would be nice. *~* Iris *~*

Pros: ****Being able to watch your children grow up****, meeting new friends in support group, healthier lifestyle, better feeling, better looking, cheaper clothes -Fat clothes cost more, body image (can be good or bad), sex is better without a lot of fat getting in the way, not being the fattest person in your office anymore, people not recognizing you (cause you aint got 3 chins anymore), sharing clothes with your skinny friends, tying your shoes without passing out, being able to fit in the bathtub with your spouse, saving money while eating out cause you can share with your child, being able to ride rides at theme parks and not being afraid the bolts arent strong enough to hold your fat ass. Cons: Death, complications, skin irritations due to sagging skin, eating disorders can surface, depression, crazy periods which can cause extreme PMS, body image problems, nutritional deficiencies, anal leakage, dumping syndrome...etc My contributions. Good luck on your presentation.

ANAL LEAKAGE OK I WAS NOT TOLD THAT .. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PPL GET THAT ????? THAT SCARES ME :-0

Well.. its a tool and its really not a CON.. its to keep you in line. It happens if you eat too much greasy fatty foods. Haha..

What the hay is anal leakage? I don't suppose I have had that yet. Is that something for me to be looking forward to? LOL

I guess if you havent had it yet -- you wont. I have been blessed with it a few times. haha.. Its exactly what it sounds like.

Iris, Here's nearly that same question from out on the main board, Just for a Written English Paper rather than a Presentation. http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/messageboard/postdetail/1317964.html?vc=0 Best Wishes- Dx
