Interesting re: men vs. women seeking WLS
"What the caterpillar calls the end of the world, the master calls the butterfly." Richard Bach
"Support fosters your growth. If you are getting enough of the right support, you will experience a major transformation in yourself. You will discover a sense of empowerment and peace you have never before experienced. You will come to believe you can overcome your challenges and find some joy in this world." Katie Jay
What? Women are more willing to have risky procedures done to fit into society's idea of what health looks like? You don't say! 
(((Not saying that it isn't worth it and for many WLS is life saving, I'm speaking in general about all the crazy things women go under the knife for to mask insecurities and self esteem issues.))

Considering the HUGE difference in society about a fat man vs. a fat woman, that does not surprise me.
HW333--SW 289--GW of 160 5' 11" woman. I only know the way I know & when you ask for input/advice, you'll get the way I've been successful through my surgeon & nutritionist. Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way. Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!
