Serious Thoughts.....
I see a lot of lost people throughout this site. Insecure about every aspect.of the process, and emotional struggling post op I'm a bad way. Maybe the psychological stuff would be better directly after the process, then people might not attend if they've already had the procedure. I see a great deal people not ready for the journey. Hard to look at with a passing eyes....and hard to comment on without making someone cry simply by trying to provide realistic responses and not general fake support. If that makes sense.....

Serious Thoughts.....
As I read through these posts it has become pretty clear that obesity is truly a mental condition. I saw this process as a tool to better myself, but a lot of people think its a catch all. Some people miss food while some get depressed about not eating. I wonder if more psychological stipulations should be inacted before a proceedure? Any Thoughts....?
