We remain the same people we were (after WLS), but there is an edge that develops. Some people may not find it as soft, cushy and lovable as before and find it unappealing. But the fact is…….we no longer are forced to laugh at ourselves, be ashamed of ourselves, or be walked over out the simple desire to be accepted. Yup, there is an edge that can develop that makes us speak our minds, look people directly in the eye and smile, and be realistic about our relationships with others. It’s scary. It’s strange. But it is wonderful."
