    I wonder the same thing. I am pre-surgery- scheduled to go in on September 17!!! I weigh 213 and I am 5'4.. Pre-diabetic and sleep apnea.

    I worry that I will look sickly- I don't want to look pointy- alot of people seem to look pointy to me. You know what I mean? I want to be somewhere between thin and curvy. Not pointy. I also don't want to be bald hahaha. These are my fears. I am 50 years old. And ready for this- I am so tired I can't tell you. I also need a kick in the ass. And I know this is going to be one for me.
