Why is everyone trying to talk me out of RNY?
Hey Candie, So here is your OH Friends gathered opinion; we all seem to be of one mind here! We have all been where you are; and thoose other people have not! So do you listen to thoose who have walked your path, or thoose who judge based on misconceptions? There may be other factors in play here as well. My sister in law did not want me to have the surgery; she wanted her fat sister in law to share in her misery with her! Sometimes other people in our lives are threatened by us changing; and they'd rather keep us in their control just as we are. Many of us who have lost our weight; have lost some of our shame, shyness, stay quite and take the abuse of others! Not that we are bad now; just more aware fat or thin we have our own lives and values!!! So girlfriend step up and start out that way right off the bat so they will all know whats coming in the future: that you are more than capable of making your own judgements, decisions, and future! Don't let stress, and others sway your own convictions; only you know what you need and where your heart and head are at!! Best wishes to your sucess. Judy R
