im still pre-op, have one more doctors office weigh in at the end of this month, and then we submit to insurance.
how come it seems like EVERYONE knows someone that had some kind of WLS, and gained it all back?! thats the first thing people say when they find out im getting surgery. "oh, well, i know someone that had -insert surgery here, its a diff one every time-, and they gained it all back within a few months of getting down to goal".
its like NOONE knows anyone that was successful, and i know thats not true, ive spent a good amount of time lurking on here and OH, and it seems like the success rate is fine. and ive already made my decision on VSG, im not changing my mind in anyway.. but im getting frustrated...
my moms even betting on my long term failure... my brother is getting married august '12. so shes on a massive diet for that, but shes doing it "the right way" as she puts it. she said i can do what i want, and she'll support me in that way, but she thinks im being stupid by not just dieting and exercising... exact quote here "you probably will end up being much smaller than me at the wedding, but im willing to bet you 100$ that youll be back to where you are now in 2013" i was like gee thanks ma.. i guess i should start making plans for my $100 :-D maybe some pretty new clothes
ok well im done ranting and raving for now.. im just wondering where all these people are that regained it all are at? since everyone seems to know at least one of them. ugh
