WLS Speech--good

Hello- Just wanted to let everyone know my speech went good. People were shocked! But informed. They actually took interest. They asked questions. I made it known that its not the easy way out. And said its not for everyone. I told about there being a handful of ppl in my family that isn't obese or even morbidly obese. About the problems my body was giving me. My starting weight, my current weight, and goal. Told them about no complications. About the calorie intake, dumping which they were like oh my gosh. About being full and how big the pouch is. I could just see the surprise on their faces as I talked about my experience. Talked about my exercise and food and such. I also used imagaine 100 lbs on you if its a back pack or carrying someone around, walking every where, getting in and out of a car or even a seat, running, etc. My teacher was super excited. He was so thrilled I wanted to tell people. He gave me so much extra credit he said I didn't need to worry about my grade! LOL! Wow did not expect that! AT ALL! I covered other things too but can't think of them. Thanks for all your help!! Thank God too, I wasn't nervous and it was all him. He gave me the strength and I'm so glad I talked about it. Felt so good! Thanks again for all your help! ~April~ Lap Rny May 13, 2005 22 yrs old, 5'1 231 / 136 / 120
