Can we post a poll kinda thing for others to answer

 What was the biggest challenge in deciding to have weight loss surgery?    post another question and answer this one.

the fact that one morning i could not get up off the floor  so husband had to call 911. also when a friend took a picture of me and i seen it and cried! motivation enough!@

A: Coming to terms with the fact that I could orphan my daughter (even though she is 19). Q: Do you fear attention from the opposite sex after you've lost the majority of your weight?

A:  Not feeling like I was Living my life, I felt like I was holding my family back from things they wanted to do, not being a good example for my son. A:  I look forward to attention.  I love to flirt, nothing serious though, I do love my hubby!!! Q:  What is the biggest thing you are going to do to make sure you keep off the lost weight?

read and find other activities to keep me busy and RUN RUN RUN  forest will have nothing one me!! I am going to run run run!

Fear it no, want it YES more than ever from hubby i would have to say that i would like to snuggle more comfortably in his arms and make it easier for him to put his arms around me!  I also dont want to leave my kids 4 and 6yrs old along either!

The biggest challenge was getting the insurance company to pay for my sugery! My question is who is that person I see reflected in the mall windows! Merrilou!

 What was the biggest challenge in deciding to have weight loss surgery?   Fear. Fear of failure, fear of giving up my best friend, fear of being stigmatised worse than being obese already caused me to be.   Do you feel you were supported emotionally by those around you?   

yes i do feel supported and i especially feel supported here amung the family of loosers and soon to be loosers! I LOVE YA ALL!!

1) I definately have the fear of losing my "best" friend... who slowing killing me by the way!!!

2) What I will do to keep the weigh off... being more active... taking up tennis or biking or maybe even kayaking.... 3)  I dont really fear attention from guys as I lose weight...  I would have if I was still single.. but I love being married (well.. most days!)

4) Since I am pre -op... I can't address the support after surgery... but I definately have support right now.  My husband is supportive... but I need to talk to him as I get closer what  food changes I will be making after surgery. My question... What influenced your decision to have the  type of WLS you picked? Helen
