Question Here is another question for you...

Has anyone found themselves re-evaluating a lot of things in their life after surgery?

I have found myself thinking about some of the things that I have always wanted to do but didn't or couldn't because of the weight. Now I can see the possibilities of seriously being able to do anything that I want. I honestly feel like a whole new world is opening up to me.

Anyone go through this?

Ella

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery.
Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.

Going through it every day! I never wanted to go sky diving before, even thought my husband really wants to go. Now I found out you can go at 220 pounds and I am considering it. I think I didn't want to do a lot of things before because I knew I really couldn't do them at my size, but maybe didn't want to attribute it to that. I don't even think I knew I was limited as much as I was....now I can't wait to go do more things!

Surfing. Tap dancing. Horseback riding again. Maybe even water skiing again, if I find someone I trust with a boat.

All these things, impossible only 8 weeks ago, now possible in the next two years, thanks to this surgery.

Yes I have been there where I could not hardly do anything at my weight before surgery and now, oh my gosh can I do things now. Also check out the Wows, you will be amazed at what people can do after they lose alot of weight.

They will come at you left and right. This is one of the joys of this surgery.

I am doing things and can't wait for new things everyday!!! All I want to do is go out and do stuff. I was a homebody before. I can't wait to ride on a plane this July (haven't been on one in 4 years for fear of embarrasment). I want to horseback ride and ride on roller costers with my kids!!! There is so much we chose not to do or couldn't do before. Everyday I do something that I didn't before is like the BEST feeling!! You know what I have thought.....that being fat was sort of a blessing in diguise for the simple fact that we can appreciate all the things that people do everyday. I get satisfaction and happiness out of crossing my legs...getting in and out of the car....walking and just feeling lighter....fitting in chairs in public places....not squeezing into a booth!!

My biggest fear pre op was the turn style things at the amusement parks...we have them at our zoo here and now I just hold my head high and glide right through.
What a wonderful thing...life after the surgery!
