I think some people go into this thinking they know all about the surgery and what it will be like. The time it takes to have surgery from start to finish is a good time to question everything. I am not sure where this person thought all that skin was going to go to? She mentions she was told about plastic surgery but was she really listening to what they were saying.
Relationships can change. The people *****ally care about you still will.

Laparoscopic Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass On October 7,2014 with Dr. Hagen
A good read. I love to read about how people feel after. I think because everyone feels different. I really like the line "nothing tastes as good as being healthy feels". I will be reminded myself of that post-op.
Thanks for posting
