Guest guest Posted April 25, 2000 Report Share Posted April 25, 2000 Hi everyone! I know we all have our own opinions, and truly believe what we think to be true, BUT you have to remember that not everyone will agree with yours. That is what makes us individuals. It is OK to have a different opinion. One thing that comes to mind is this:Although you may not always agree with my thoughts, or feelings or opinions, please respect me for at least having my own, and being an individual. I do not ask you to conform to my beliefs, but do not judge me for they truly are my own and I deserve as do you the respect we should all have for one another! Beauty is in the one of the beholder. Do you see the beauty in all things? Look beyond the physical and you will see a depth of beauty, which you have never experienced. Take time to " really " see. Take time to look with more than just your eyes! Each of us has a different reason for having this surgery, BUT in the end we all want the same thing. To be healthier, live a more happy productive life, and to look and feel better about ourselves. Society has created these " standards " and makes people believe if they do not fit into these standards they are fat, over weight etc...PLEASE PLEASE DO not let anyone tell you how you should feel about your body, or how you should look, what weight you SHOULD be etc... It is your body and you will know. I would rather be 185 lbs and healthy then 335 lbs and unhealthy. Of course I want to look great as well as feel great, BUT I know lots of people who are healthy and happy and LOOK great even though they are 20, 30, 40 lbs OVERWEIGHT. It all depends on you and your body. As a new person on this list, I want you to know a lot of what has been said as scared the hell out of me. More so than ever before. I am now second guessing myself, which I have never done before. I am scared like all of you, and want the best results possible. As a self pay I am speding a lot of time, money and stress over this, but in the end I know it will be worth it. The thought of being healthy again, it almost too much to think of! I am SO excited that I found all of you and DR.R. I have not talked to him yet, but know he is the right suregon for me. Thank you to everyone who has responded to my questions. AND thank you for reading this very long email. This all is MY opinion, and if you do not agree with it, I will not apologize for having it, but will always listen to yours. Thanks for listening!!!
