..I am so confused. I work in westchester and months ago had met one of out csr's that works out on Long Island. She had had the surgery and though
I did not see the before, I did see the expressions and here the comments of everyone who had. This girl was so happy and energetic and I asked as many questions as possible without the rest of the group catching on. I don't know anything accept the womans first name, so I figured what the heck, I'll ask someone who knows her to put her in touch with me. Well, this morning she called(and I hadn't even asked anyone yet) she actually was calling me to speak with a customer. I re-introduced myself and said this is an omen. Well she gave me her number and I called her later that day and we talked for quite some time. She had a very positive experience. Hard, painful(she had her gall bladder removed atthe same time) but she said it was worth all the hard work. she suggested I call local hospitals and find support groups now.
Before I even make the decision. She also said that people who say it's the easy way out have no idea what they're talking about. She also states the success of it all depends on how willing you are to follow step by step, month by month the doctors & nutritionists orders. She knows people who have failed. She was also out of work for 8 wks. Her choice, she thinks she could have gone back in 3 or 4. I can't do that, or should I say won't do that. So I've heard some of the good, some of the bad and some of the ugly. But I certainly can say everyone on this site and this new friend at work, have been some of the most considerate, helpful and caring people I have come across in my life. So whether I do WLS or not, I've already benefited by this experience.
you guys!
