I have been helping a coworker through her approval process.  After seeing my success she has decided she is gonna take the leap.  I'd like to quote her when discussing peoples negativaty towards WLS..."I say look at Heather....She's the poster child for the benefits of WLS.....more people would have the surgery if they could look like you in the end...."  LOL, she is so sweet!  She doesn't see me naked though.....

Awww - its great when we have an advocate like that!  But you know she's right - you have done a great job working your tool and making WLS successful for you!  And, who can argue with success?

That's great! Doesn't it feel great to be an inspiration. I belong to a "horse forum" and I've also been an inspiration too two women that have already had it done. A third is in the works at another "horse forum". One thing we had in common (not co-workers)but we ride and have never felt comfortable with our horses and health.

Kudos to you for being an inspiration and helping another change their life.

Melissa - I remember when you were pre-op and someone on a horse forum dissed you for wanting to have the surgery - you were SO upset!!  Now look at you - and inspiration for many!
