What Pre-Ops really want to know from Post-Ops

Bob, You said..."I don't feel too bad now for a 400 pound mid 40ish man." Bottomline is, you don't feel good right now and you're not healthy.  I can sit here and say that because about 2-1/2 years ago I was that 400+ pound man saying exactly the same thing. Little did I know what was ahead of me.  Looking back, I know the truth now - I felt awful, I couldn't catch my breath, I had continuous aches and pains, I didn't sleep well, my heart rate was consistently pumping in the high 80's to low 90's bpm, I was sick and tired of being sick and tired...not to mention all the little things in life (that for an overweight person quickly add up to be big things) that I could not do that a person of "normal" weight naturally takes for granted.  I was depressed, with low self-esteem and no self-confidence.   I can tell you now - I had no idea what if felt like to feel good and be healthy!  I'm happier than a puppy with two peckers!!  It's unbelievable  - which is why I'm so thrilled for you and others about to take your spot on the Loser's Bench!!! Will you be nauseous!  You just might be - bu*****pically passes in a short period of time.  Will you feel worn-out and sore...only for a short period of time and then you'll get an energy rush.  The risk is worth the reward...the pain is worth the pleasure!
