Guest guest Posted December 29, 2003 Report Share Posted December 29, 2003 Wow! Thank you to all who replied to my post...I feel better knowing that I'm not the only one who has mixed emotions about wls. It's been kind of scary for me because I'm generally well balanced and take things in stride but this surgery has had me on a roller coaster for the last couple of weeks. I feel very lucky because my husband, other family members and close friends have all been very supportive of my decision to have this surgery which definitely helps me to come to terms with it. I'm also glad that I finally posted and asked for reassurance from others who have had or will have wls. Your input has helped me considerably and I think I'm done crying and, instead, will focus my efforts on a speedy recovery...thanks again! > Hi everyone! > My name is Sunny and I've been lurking for quite a while now and > finally summoned up the nerve to introduce myself.
