About scars: I've met people with staples to close their incisions and they still had scars a year later. Do the dots on each side of the scar line eventually fade away altogether, anyone? Robin >> Yes, Robin, they do. I've had staples with two C-Sections and they faded both times. Takes awhile, but I can't see them at all now. Don't sweat this one.

I talked about this before with her but she was *extremely* critical, kept saying things like " you'll gain it back, " or " what if you die on the operating table. " I made it a point to not go into it with any other family member but didn't expect her to react so meanly. I'm only telling you about part of what she said. She said some other mean things, really negative. I hate to say that she has cast some doubt on my plans, but I guess I am going to have to just stay away from her negativity long enough to come through it all. I *really* need the support of others who have been through this. I'd like to be able to show the naysayers that I did what was best for me. I don't know how to end this so I will just stop here... Robin >> Robin, I'm really sorry you're having to deal with this. It's so important to have supportive people around us. It must be very hard for one of the negatives to be your sister. I agree that probably you're just going to have to avoid her for awhile, but maybe after WLS, things will change. It could be that she's just really scared for you and scared at the thought of you possibly not being there for her. Hopefully, her mean remarks were made because of her own insecurities and fears, and not because she really feels that way towards you. For now, you have lots of supportive " sisters " here and we'll give you all the love and support you ask for.
