Guest guest Posted March 13, 2002 Report Share Posted March 13, 2002 WOW You are so right -- and as I'm seemingly " springing " up the stairs (what a feeling for an 53 yr old) I try to imagine carrying a load around my shoulders and middle dragging on all of me -- that equals what I've lost so far (75# -- and a plateau of nearly 7 wks now) -- Ugh -- that's heavy! At those times, I reflect and feel so thankful for everything and everyone that contributed to my successful pursuit of and recovery from WLS. I KNOW I was blessed by a relatively smooth pre-op time, even with the postponements and health flare-ups that were really jacking up my anxiety and stress. And a pretty good post-op transition to the " other side. " I am now praying that everyone who considers WLS is able to do the research, make the appropriate choices in their WLS professionals and gather in enough " stuff " so that they and those assisting and tending to them make the right good care of themselves.....as they, too, are thought of as " strange " everytime someone passes them and notices that they have a secret smile on thier face as they climb the stairs.

It's a wonderful feeling, isn't it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
