Jani,my world lights up when she smiles. It is wonderful to share her -rebirth.I am sure she has grown,and I am grateful to see more and more young people having WLS,before their bodies have been ravished,and dealing with the mental part of this illness,as well as the spiritual should they chose to do so.
I thank God that this disease has been recognized by the medical profession.Many people thought us to be weak of will,and lay abouts,too lazy to take care of ourselves.
The prejudice and loathing plague that we have had to tolerate,and endure,along with the unrealistic body types our young girls aspire to achieve,could be the basics of a science fiction novel,or a grade B rated soap opera. We can add a full cup of self loathing,and viola,the wasted huge waist line in America.
This is going to get better for all of us,the companies have found out there is money buried in the rolls of our fat bodies,fat is not a 4 letter word,and I know for a fact that I am more than the sum of my wrinkled,deflated parts.
Does any of this make any sense?? I am happy our young people especially can have help,and a new life...smile.
I speak only for myself and my friends I have come to know and love through the years,and in no way "represent"anyone else other than the beautiful girls and women I have encountered in my own ongoing struggle.
One last thought....it was not long ago that our country was putting people in jails.and, or mental wards for drinking,and women going through PMS were put in psychiatric hospitals,there was a famous author's wife who was signed in,and was forgotten about for around 30 years,not in America,I believe it was England.He never divorced her,as he was busy hiding his own homosexuality for which he had been jailed more than once . She was an embarassment to her well to do family whose solicitor merely kept paying her hospital bills. This poor female was surely out of sight and out of mind,she did eventually see freedom again,I am willing to wager after menopause,
Jani,thank you for listening and being here,I am excited and look forward to your sharing your journey with me..
