You need to take your own advice and try and love yourself -- most of us on here felt exactly like you do -- sick and tired of being sick and tired -- but remember removing 85% of your stomach is not the magic answer --you won't wake up from this surgery immediately being able to feel your hip bones again -- this is only a tool, it only works if you follow your drs. post op orders to a T. That being said, I hope you are able to do this, I wish this surgery would have been around sooner -- I can tell you, there are barely any photos of me with my sons as they were growing up -- I don't want to see this happen to anyone else. I spent the last 10 years feeling just like you do.
