A negative experience!

There are so many WL failures out there and some just want people to know that it isn't the right choice for everyone. This is not the easy way out nor is it a cure all. It's hard work. Sounds like she was just one unhappy person all around.

I think if your following your Dr rules about vitamins then that's between you and him.  Every Dr is different.

she takes no responsibility for her life...nice
so she gave up instead of getting back on the wagon...?
she blamed her surgeon for the things she does or does not put into her body...?
she made excuses for her inability to make the changes her body needs...?

those are EXACTLY the things my surgeon said would guarantee failure...and they scare the hell out of me. So it's a good thing to keep people like this in mind...they are the "WLS worst case scenario" we all need to remember to not become...

good luck to you!

Becca,

That was very well put.  Pauline, this journey upon which you are embarking can at times be treacherous and also exhilarating.  You will come into contact with people and situations which will challenge your committment.  There will also be many moments which will re-affirm that this was the right thing for you to do for yourself. 

Success is yours to achieve, and there are many here and near you who will lend a helping hand.  Do not let the naysayers get you down.  I wish you and all others starting out many Wow moments!

Pauline, pay no attention to this person. My sister had WLS 4 years ago and is what I consider to be a failure. She is under weight and unhealthy. She hasn't taken her vitamins  or gotten in her protein... and looks 20 years older than her years,so this is why she is a failure. The #'s on the scale aren't the only way to become a success in WLS.
One step at a time ...food, booze or drugs...it is all addiction.

PM me anytime
