Guest guest Posted August 25, 2003 Report Share Posted August 25, 2003 I want to look better too. There is no one who has this surgery that doesn't have that wish...I would think. Even if I had to put a value on it I would say 50% of me wants better health, 50% wants a better body. My daughter will turn 18 this weekend. There will be no one left but me at home. That does not thrill me. I don't have the confidence to socialize as I should. This is not a cure all, but it can be a confidence builder. I want that. Lizanne Pre-op Feb/Mar 2004 > I am 280 pounds. I don't have any life threatening problems now but they can occur.Heart disease runs in my family and so does diabetes. I am infertile and have polysistic ovaries. I also have adrenal hyperplasia. That is the only problems that I have had. I do keep alot of fluid buildup even when I lose weight, so my ankles are starting to bother me. I am doing this because I cant do it on my own. I need a tool to help me. But I would be lying if I told you that looking better is not a BIG plus. My self imagine needs some improvement! But at the same time, some of those pictures made me wonder if I would look worse on the outside then I did starting out. Just cornel thinking, I know !! Surely I'm not the only one who thinks about how they will look. In my dreams, I look great!! LOL LOL Bottom line, I need to do this to see my daughter grow up. I just want to look good also. > Angie D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
