Spreading The Word

I am sitting at the texas state fair and notice people walking around that would benefit from RNY. Now that I have gone through this I feel like going up to people and spreading the word of RNY. I know I would have gotten upset if someone had said anything to me, but my entire outlook on life has changed. Has anyone had this feeling? Did you actually go up to people?

ohh my God I went to doctor Kim 4 * and I've had four bad experiences I kept thinking I would have a good 1 and maybe its time they were just busy and didn't have very much time to give me today... I am set up to see Nicholson on Monday... I want a good all around program that's going to have a lot of support for me and a lot of teaching n educating for me to help get me through this because I really have no support for this.... and all I know how to do is make poor food choices I really am clueless and I don't feel I really know what I'm getting myself into long term wise.... or can I really give up macaroni and cheese and fried chicken wings I don't know....lol.... can I really give up going out on a date and not having a couple alcoholic drinks.... that is what people do on a date I mean what am I going to do want to date now I'm sorry I don't drink.... and then we go to dinner oh I'm sorry I don't eat more than 2 bites at a time will think I'm a weirdo... I don't want the focus of the day to be what I'm eating and drinking...or lack of.... but yes need to find a surgeon I really don't know who... did you have a consult with Baylor grapevine? their website looks like they have a really good after surgery program' date=' shrug, and I don't know how long that doctors been doing it but call me crazy I don't want someone has been doing this for only 5 years.... that is the bonus with kim he's been doing this over a decade and I really thinka good surgeon just can't speak that great for his attitude personality or his staff.... I think they just schedule way too many people each day.....idk[/quote']

Once you have surgery you will not want that greasy chicken and you can sip on a glass of Water on a date. And stop worrying about what others think. Without surgery you may not live long enough to enjoy a relationship. If you are unsure due to those reasons you may want to wait. You may not be ready
