Guest guest Posted March 10, 2003 Report Share Posted March 10, 2003 Since I had the surgery done 3 yrs ago, two of my friends have done it after seeing my success. There are many others who have family/friends that they ask me to discuss it with - and I'm glad to and definitely don't sugar-coat it. Most people new that I meet rarely know that I used to be heavier, so I don't get to tell many new acquaintances about the surgery. (newly rejoined) soshbfly@...
