Well said!

Since I've had the privilege of being up close and personal through this process, I will say that it has been incredible and wonderful to watch the changes that have taken place in her life as a result of the weight loss.

Appearance isn't the only change.

Right on!

I would love to add if I may here that...

Just because someone is overweight, that does not mean they are a glutton or that food is their master.... Many times one's metabolism is just slower and some one elses may work over time. I have seen people who actually look like they are in good condition physically but they are major gluttons... They eat food like it's going out of style but they won't be picked on because their body doesn't gain the weight... They eat like crazy but get by with it!

HO ... you are right, we cannot judge someone by their size!!!!

Re: Heavenly One - Before & After!

What some don't understand I think is all the hard work one must go through before the surgery, in some cases people have to lose some before the surgery. And after there is the problem of excess skin. It is very hard work, before and after.

Re: Heavenly One - Before & After!

Heavenly One , I admire your steadfastness. I lost weight in the 70's from almost 200 lbs down to 128. Kept it off for many years. Gradually the weight has been put back on plus a few additional lbs. Now I have knee , back and achilles tendon problems. I am trying to get the off by changing my food preparation. Exercise is the main drawback for me.

I'm not looking for them to pay me, just pay the doc to do my surgery! LOL!

But if I need an agent, I'll be sure and let you know...I could ask if they'd pay extra!
