Guest guest Posted September 18, 2001 Report Share Posted September 18, 2001 I was wondering how you post-opers felt while you were preop? I had resigned myself to living the rest of my life as an obese person. My weight has fluctuated over the years, but the longest length of time I kept it off was 3-4 years. I was determined then I would never gain the weight back. Determination wasn't enough. Then I tried new and different diets, losing a few pounds, only to gain them back again. I am sure we all have similar stories. But then something happened. I scheduled my consult appointment, and I feel as though a dark cloud has lifted. I go shopping, have difficulty walking, but I know now this is just temporary! I envision myself as a normal person. People look right through me, but I know that this too will change before too long! It is amazing how much my attitude has changed already! I haven't even met the Dr. yet. If my insurance won't pay, I will find another way to have this surgery done! My attitude about myself has improved just knowing that there is something that will help me to live the rest of my life as a healthy, normal individual. Thank you Dawn, for telling me to look into DS! Pam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
