I’m awaiting approval from my HMO for wls. As I’ve researched the topic
(including TV shows) I’ve seen that there’s a possibility of needing
plastic surgery after wls to eliminate the sagging extra skin. Does
anyone have suggestions for avoiding this problem?
I have been feeling down lately and have had a difficult time talking
to my friends about it. they are supportive but have no idea what I may
be going thru. the support group in my area is this Wed and It will be
my first visit, i can not wait.
