          A gastric bypass surgery patient is a lot like that of the life of a butterfly. The life starts as a caterpillar your inching around getting to know people. Your trying to fit in so your place is very slow. Your usually very shy and if someone says something that intimidates you the hairs on your back stand up. Your in the back of the crowd usually hiding. For this reason you miss out on a lot. They don't have much of a social life. 

      So They put up a shell or a coccon. They get sheltered in thier shell waiting to be accepted. Hiding from life because they are not good enough. Thier living in a shell so it's emottionally and Physically not good. Eventually the hard shell cracks. There inside is a beautiful butterfly. 

       She is waiting to take flight, waiting to be noticed.  Her colors are so bright because of her new transformation.  As she takes flight it's slow at first then she's the social butterfly. Meeting all kinds of beautiful colors. The more things she's able to learn and accomplish the higher she flies and spreads her wings farther. She has gained so much confidence. Now she has new wings and a new life.
