Hello Rebecca, Welcome! Think of it this way....you may not stand out in a croud because your fat, but you will stand out because you are "beaming" with happiness and feelings of self-worth......after you lose the weight that is. Being obese is not easy, but it is a safety net...it keps people away and you don't have to deal with that part of life. I heard one lady say,"if I lose all the weight and people STILL don't like me, I will be crushed!" See, it's her safety net...she is safe and comfy inside her cloak. The downside is, it can be a lonely life and you aquire more and more health problems and you aren't really living, you are only surviving. It takes courage to have this surgery and change your life forever but I think you can and will do it. I personally can't wait! I will tell you this, the more you do research and talk to other people about it, the easier it will be to accept the changes you will go through and make peace with your decision to have the surgery. Best of luck to you Rebecca....keep us informed as you make your journey. Big Hug! Carol Percel
