Hi

The pros about having the surgery is

1. having more energy to do more walking
2. You don't have the stares and looks (or as many) for when you go out to eat
3. You can fit into a lot more of your clothes that you wished u could

Cons

1. So many clothes that I wore when I was big were so comfortable, I don't want to give up, that is hardest to do is to give up big comfy clothes
2. The pain u have when ur full --I'm still learning to not eat so much, but then again I've lost full appetite too, too much stress in my life

Thanks again for letting me write here. I have a feeling I will be venting about my stress here more often, and hope I can get some feedback on what to do with some of it. I really appreciate that.

Lisa
