The "right" reason to have WLS.

On another thread.. someone posted about the "right" reasons to have weight loss surgery.

It was a simple choice for me..

 can only speak for myself. I decided I didn't want to suffer a painful and prolonged journey to an early death. After a lifetime of failed diets.. I decided weight loss surgery was my last hope.

But there were unimagined bonuses.

 I never imagined that I would actually feel healthy.

I never imagined I would ride my bicycle more than 23-hundred miles this year.
 
I never thought I would enjoy using the stairs instead of an elevator.

I never imagined I would enjoy going to they gym six days a week.

I never imagined what it would be like to go out in public and not wonder what people were thinking about this 500 pound man waddling in front of them. 

Life is just great!

 Amen Herc!  Amen and Amen!  My only regret related to WLS is I wish I would have had it years ago!

Thank you missed a couple there Herc!  Seem to recall a couple of post about you and the Mrs. having a milestone anniversary and you were ecstatic  about going to your daughter's graduation.

I like the idea the thing gets bigger 

 I was mostly sick of being fat, but at my pre-op exam my O2 levels were not even in the 90's (maybe 87-88?) and my lungs made these gurgling noises sometimes when I took a deep breath.

I got WLS for one reason only...so I could read the postings of  sjbob :-)

...oh yes, to get healthier too.
