Hello Everyone, 1. My senior year. I enjoyed my graduation. After graduation my best friend and I spent a few days in Galveston at my Aunt's beach house. We has a blast. I was also in a co op and went to school half a day and worked have a day. That was fun. 2. I had a cousin and my sister in law that has WLS and they both looked awesome. 3. I think so. My sister in law was in ICU for two weeks. I was a little scared but saw her results so I had to go through with it. (I also used a different doctor than she did.) 4. Not being able to drink diet cokes has been hard. Having to drink tons of water gets on my nerves sometimes. I pack a cooler every morning with 4 bottles of water before work and I make myself drink all four bottles before I get home from work. Take care, Diana 379/194/? starting bmi 62

I really don't know that's a hard question to answer. It depends on the situation. 4.) Pre-ops: What do you think will be the most difficult aspect of having WLS?

1. I would have to say that my senior year was the most memoriable. I really came out of my shell that year. I met my best friend. Joined all sorts of clubs. Graduated in the top 5% of my class. I have to say that it was the best year. 2. Myself. I was tired of sitting around watching myself die. I refused to do it any longer. 3. Yes. 4. I think getting used to my body has been a very hard thing for me. I'm always a little perplexed and how my body looks and feels now. I am down 140lbs and I still look at myself and have a hard time seeing that loss at times. I can lay in bed and feel ribs, collar bones, hip bones and other bones that I never even thought about before. I feel slightly alienated from the rest of the world because of the way that I have to eat but its not the most horrible feeling. 5. Marie Faith Lap RNY 350/210/175
