looking for 16-25yr old post ops...
Hello Ohers,
I am helping out a friend who is doing a psychology research project on body image in 16-25 year olds. She thought it would be interesting to see what kind of body image issues younger people who have had wls deal with. She wants people who are at least 4 months out, of any kind of WLS. If you are at least 4 months out and are between the ages of 16 and 25, and you have a few minutes, please copy and paste the following questions to a message and e-mail them to me either here or at [email protected].
