    Default Re: Telling Others About My Surgery??

    Be honest and truthful....we all had this operation because we could not

    A) loose the weight or
    B) keep it off once lost

    I told a very large American lady where I used to work, she was petrified of any form of general anaesthetic, but after talking it over with me for a few months she had a bypass (paid by the NHS). She has lost 6 stone and had two hip operations - my being truthful with inspired her to make the change (she is 45 with 2 young children, 5 and 3).

    She no longer needs walking sticks!

    Her husband was so grateful to me when I met him, thanking me for giving her the confidence to make the change

    Spread the word, we know this changes lives for the better!

    Of course this is only my experience

    EnglishGentleman (by the way, love the name). Thank you for sharing your view and experience. I have always believed that honesty is the best way, and helping others is our purpose for being here. I am still on the fence with this decision, but you have given me much to think about.
