Daily Post--4/8/08

I would never suggest that anyone have WLS, this is a decision they must make for themselves. I would be more than happy to relay my information ,Let them know it was the right choice for me.

No way! I would never approach someone about something so personal! Now if someone asked me about it, I would be glad to talk to them about it and share my experience with them but I wouldn't try to push them in the direction of surgery because that has to ultimately be their decision because it's so life changing!!

Sometimes I do, but this has to be a decision one their own and a choice they make. My sister in law is well over 500 pounds and I cannot suggest it to her without her getting irritated.

Lea~ I have thought it but I know I would never do it. I couldn't imagine how I would have felt had a stranger approached me and suggested WLS surgery. I have spoken to a complete stranger about it only because I overheard 2 women discussing it in Kohls ~ they were wondering if it really worked and what the process was. I simply said it does work and the process begins with a phone call to the surgeon. I gave them the number to my surgeon and wished them well.

Sometimes I do but I have not actually done so but if a person asks me about what I did to loose the weight....boy do I give them an earfull! They probably wish they had not ask cause I can talk about it for days! lol

I have thought to myself when I see a person struggling because they are obese that I wish I could share with them the experience I have had since this surgery and give them a lil hope that there is a tool out there that can help them have a better life. In saying this I would never go up to a complete stranger and bring it up to them because I know that would have made me feel really upset when I was in there situation and I would have found it very awkward and I would never want to make anyone else feel that way. If anyone wanted to know how I lost my weight I would definitely share my story with them with the hopes that it would either help them or someone else in there life that might be suffering from MO.
