I SEE IWAS NOT AS CONFIDENT AS I THOUGHT I WAS. I LOVE THE SURGERY, I LOVE MYSELF MORE NOW THAN I THOUGHT I DID. IF THAT MAKES SENSE. YOU KNOW. PEOPLE STARTED TREATING ME DIFFERENT RIGHT AFTER
SURGERY. I NOW SEE PEOPLES REACTIONS ARE VERY DIFFERENT. WHICH IS VERY WEIRD BUT I UNDER STAND
ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE VERY POSITIVE ABOUT IT AND THERE ARE THOSE THAT START HATING ON YOU BECAUSE I VE ALREADY SURPASSED THE WEIGHT THEIR AT. IT SO WEIRD HOW PEOPLES REACTION ARE SO, UM YOU KNOW IM TO THE POINT NOW I DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE THINK ITS ABOUT ME!!!

THANKS TO THE LORD!!!
AND OF COURSE DR. MCDANIEL!!!!!
TOMARROW IS MY 3OTH BIRTHDAY I AM SO HAPPY TO BE ABLE TO DO THE THINGS I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO IN SUCH A LONG TIME.....
LIKE WEARING HEELS, WALKING UP STAIRS WITHOUT FEELING OUT OF BREATH, CROSSING MY LEGS............................... SO MANY LITTLE THINGS THAT MEAN SO MUCH................
IF YOUR THINKING OR CONSIDERING THIS SURGERY ID SAY FIND A GOOD DOCTOR AND GO FOR IT!!!!
YOU KNOW WHEN I FIRST STARTED LOOKING INTO THIS SURGERY ALL I WOULD RECIEVE FROM EVERYONE I TOLD I WAS GOING TO DO WAS NEGATIVE, BUT YOU KNOW ALL WE SEE AND HEAR ABOUT IS THE NEGATIVES OF THE SURGERY OF COARSE ALL SURGRIES HAVE RISK JUST LIKE US BEING OBESE DOES. JUST THOUGHT ID PUT THAT OUT THERE FOR WHOEVER MIGHT BE READING ON MY PROFILE. IREAD SO MANY PROFILES AND THAT REALLY HELPED ON MY DECIDING ON GOING THROUGH WITH IT. OH AND ALSO IF THERES A SUPPORT GROUP IN YOUR AREA YOU MIGHT AS WELL GO BECAUSE YOU LEARN SO MUCH AND NOT ONLY THAT SOMEONE ELSE HAS ALREADY GONE THROUGH WHAT YOUR GOING THROUGH AND MAYBE THEY CAN HELP YOU AS THEY HELPED ME. GOD BLESS AND GOOD LUCK!!!!!
