Weight Loss Surgery Part Two
A while ago, I heard the word ‘liposuction’ and was surprised when I had an ‘oh, hell no’ reaction. Why was I surprised? Because I had no information whatsoever. I didn’t know how it worked, what the doctors did, or anything about the process, really…
And so I went on a quest for knowledge. I asked around at all my weight loss support groups, on my blogs, and even on my work forum
The number of responses has been fantastic. Thank you to everyone who voted and/or commented.
I was expecting the results somewhat, but I was quite surprised at the strength of the responses.
More people than not are saying that they would have weight loss surgery and 65% percent of the people who voted said a straight yes.
I grew up with the mentality that anything that wasn’t worked for with blood, sweat and tears isn’t something anyone deserves to have. Thus, for a long time, weight loss surgery seemed wrong to me.
Then I started meeting people who couldn’t lose weight. They faced their addictions, their psychological ties to food, ate right, exercised, and yet they couldn’t lose the weight. Were they to be condemned because their bodies didn’t work quite right?
I feel much better having a wider vision of what weight loss surgery is, how it works, and what life is like for people afterwards. I hope you feel the same.
