1. Do you dye your hair?? Ohhhhh, do I HAVE to answer this!!!! Well I trust all you girls. Yes, I do, just a temporary color to cover my gray's. 2. Do you plan on letting people know you've had surgery? Like in a restaurant if you want the kids portion would you explain why??? Yes I do let everyone know!!!! And I have said why I order from the kids menu. I've only done it once. I don't go out to eat very often. I just waste so much food, cuz I'm not crazy about leftovers. 3. What outfit comes to mind when you see yourself hitting goal and looking "HOT"? Levi's jeans an AWSOME shirt with a jean jacket. The jacket has to be cut short. Like cut around my waist not my knees!!!! And a sexy pair of shoes. 4. Describe your idea of a "night out on the town" once you get your mobility back... Money is NO OBJECT Jumping on a flight to Las Vegas with my hubby and sight seeing, spending the night in an awsome room with a hot tub and gambling. 5. Is there someone in your life you know would benefit from WLS? Would you talk to them about it or not?? Yes, I do. And she won't do it. She has seen that it is hard and not the easy way out and states to me that it's just not for her. Good questions!!!! Carmella

1. No I don't dye my hair, but I think I need to start because the gray is starting to appear. Argh 2. I won't mind letting people know that I had the surgery. It's not something that I am ashamed of or plan to be secretive about. As far as a waiter or waitress it is none of their business what I order or why so I don't think I would go into detail. If I had to justify my selection I would simply say that it is medically necessary that I eat a smaller portion. Realistically I don't think I'll be ordering from the childrens menu as the selections tend to be too high calorie and carb heavy. 3. Little black dress (****tail type), black stockings with high heels and little black purse. 4. 5 star dinner, dancing, theater tickets and a walk under the stars. (I'm a hopeless romantic) 5. Yes, I have a niece who would benefit. She is only 22 and I would like to spare her the lost years of pain that I had. I would and have talked to her about WLS

OK here goes...... 1. Do you dye your hair?? If I didn't cover my grays I would look like the Bride of Frankenstien 2. Do you plan on letting people know you've had surgery? Like in a restaurant if you want the kids portion would you explain why??? I tell anyone I think would care to know and I will tell after surgery as well. 3. What outfit comes to mind when you see yourself hitting goal and looking "HOT"? The wedding gown that I really wanted to wear when I got married I will get and renew my wedding vows. 4. Describe your idea of a "night out on the town" once you get your mobility back... Money is NO OBJECT I would like to take dancing lessons....Country Line, Ballroom, etc.... 5. Is there someone in your life you know would benefit from WLS? Would you talk to them about it or not?? Yes there is but she is opposed to elective surgery of any kind. Take Care Fran

1. No... used to lighten it. Haven't in two years. 2. No. 3. I just want a normal pair of jeans! 4. Learning to dance salsa... then look out! 5. No. Huggs, Ruth

1. See photo, answer no. Used to, decided it was a losing battle and embraced the gray. 2. Depends on the situation ... have done so once or twice, but didn't feel it was worth the effort. I just get a "go-box" when I have my plate delivered, and divvy away what I can't eat right then. 3. Simple T-shirt and jeans ... don't know I'd look hot in them, but that's what I'd like to be able to wear and be comfortable being seen in 4. Movie, Dinner (such as I could eat), good friends' or family's company 5. Yes, have talked with them about it, they're not ready to consider it right now, they feel they've got more trying to diet to do. Myra
