All but #1 are great side effects.  I didn't think about the airline seats.  We are taking a trip this fall.  I do hope I will be able to fit with out an extension or raising the arm rest. 

I honestly want to get up my stairs with out having to sit down.  And walk down with out feeling my knee give way.  Thanks

Your shoe size won't necessarily decrease, but mine did.

You won't necessarily HAVE to have reconstructive surgery.  Some do, some opt to do so, some never need to, some never want to. 

You won't necessarily throw up.  This is ludicrous!  Have I thrown up?  Yes -- if I get something stuck, eat too fast, something like that.  Is it often?  NO!  No more often than I threw up preop, which was RARE, trust me (but back then was due to illness, not food stuck).

I am not going to go into the side effects of wls but I am going to share with you how wonderful life is after wls.
First I want to let you know my highest weight was 680lbs.
Life was pretty bad at a weight like that.
Before I even thought about wls I lost 300lbs with diet and excersie.
Slowly the weight started returning.
This is when I made my choice for wls.
I can wear things I could never wear before and my self esteem has gone through the roof.
I just turned 50 years old and have never felt so alive in my life.
I have done what was right for me and there is no question I LOVE MY RNY.

It is never too late to be what you might have been.?

Annie,
That is wonderful.  I haven't found anyone yet that completely regretted their WLS... Thanks.

1. I still wear a big 10 shoe size

2. I have loose skin but don't care

3. I have thrown up but it is always my own fault.  It is becuse stuck food from not chewing enough.....eating to fast.... or waiting to long to eat.

Other side effects

Shopping for clothes is fun
Fit into booths
Better self immage
More energy
Can ride my horses
There are just too many side effects to list but they are mostly good.......NO......GREAT!!!

I am glad to hear most of the side effects are great!  I know I will just have to be careful... Thanks.
