10 cold hard facts about weight loss surgery (Cross Post)

At 5 1/2 years post-op Lapband and 5 months post-op RNY revision, I decided to write a post on my blog of the 10 facts about WLS that I have learned over the years. I wrote it in a direct style and have been wondering if I was too harsh with the list. I toyed with publishing the list over the past week or so. I see these as the realities people need to face day-to-day after WLS. Here is the list. You can click on the link to my blog to read the details.
