Diary of a Fat Girl

In the begining of my wls journey I often wondered WHY I suffered so much. Then after my takedown I became well enough to help other people. Some I helped post wls and some I helped prevent from getting the surgery to begin with. THIS, has helped me accept even my continued disability despite a takedown almost 3 years ago.
Write it, it'll be worth it

Fat Heffalump has invited people to tell their WLS story over at her blog. She's had two people tell their story so far. You might want to chime in too.

Certainly, if you want to write a book, I think there's a place for it out there. As to whether anyone will listen or not, who knows? But it's worth trying.

Be well. Keep healing.

I had WLS in 2003 - you must remember that everyone is different. I had my surgery at the University of PA and have been very fortunate and to date have been very happy. I do know many in my group that have been successful and are happy, it is a lot of work -- but there are succesful people like myself outthere. It is not all gloom and doom. Barry A. Wassinger

bigcooke...Doesn't matter if you went to the best of the best or how hard you work. Complications happen. It's not all doom and gloom but ANY doom and gloom seems to be dismissed or met with blame. My blog tends to help people who are having trouble. Glad you're fine but success stories are given way too much attention in order to sell more wls. We must be cautious.
