Impressive how you look at everything WLS touches by: Suzette Kroll Barancik, RD)
What I like, Beth, is your ability to see details and shades of gray.
Weight Loss Surgery probably won't "fix" a person's life. Only the person can do that!
WLS is a choice...a risky one. I'm so pleased anytime I hear that someone had a "good" surgery, that they aren't suffering through serious medical issues and more surgeries.
But even a "good" surgery doesn't guarantee a fixed life. All it really guarantees is that you're going to have to eat a lot differently.
So congratulations on your good outcome, and also on having the clarity to know that your journey was in no way over once you emerged from anesthesia. And thanks for helping others see that too!
