Saw my brother for the first time Postop
To give you background my brother and I haven't been really close in a long time. I moved out of the house when I was 17 and left him in a chaotic home enviroment, he was 13. We got closer when he moved in with me when he was 15 and then fell away again. His wife and I had a fight the week after I got back from surgery about her posting family drama on facebook so I haven't seen him in a long time. I know my brother loves me but I think he's always been ashamed of my weight. Though he's never actually said anything negative :( Yesterday I took my kids over to his house to play in the pool. When he walked out of the house he just kept saying, "Wow Sis you are beautiful!" He said, "You were beautiful before but wow!" and it wasn't in the overthe top way some people say it. I believe that's the first time he's ever said I was beautiful. My best NSV so far.

Some people might not support my WLS decision.
Those people remind me of slinkys. Not good for much but it would would bring a smile to my face if someone pushed them down the stairs.
