wls and the quality of life
Quality of Life is such a broad statement. This I know for sure (OMG I sounded like Oprah 
)
I am able to play basketball with my children, I am able to take a bubble bath, I am able to go to a swimming pool without being mortified, I am able to walk up stairs without taking a break, I am able to fit in plane seats, I am able to get into a booth at a restaurant without getting stuck, I am able to fit in a movie theatre seat, I am able to walk in the mall without people staring, pointing or making fun of me, I am able to run on the treadmill, I am able to dance to music, I am able to ride on the back of a motorcycle, I am able to get on a horse without worrying I am going to break his back, I am able to fit into a roller coaster, I am able to play softball and volleyball, I am able to go to my kids functions without worrying I will break the seats but most of all I am able to look at myself in the mirror, remember where I came from, remember I don't want to go back and look forward to tomorrow and what will my next adventure be.
Even when the times are tough, even when I suffer from side effects of the surgery, even if I were to loose 10 years off the end of my life I would do it all over again without a hesitation just because the quality of life I have had in the past 6 years (I had my surgery 8 years ago but 2 years I was loosing) has been the best life I have had so far and I hope it only gets better.
