To all of you I have personally met.... I love all of you just the way you are!! Everything about each of you makes you unique and that's what I like the best....the uniqueness. I really feel that unless a surgery is medically necessary - leave well enough alone.
I have a good friend that went thru the same surgery as Rog. She is excercising like a maniac to firm up the sagging skin because she is scared to death of the multiple surgeries to rid her of the excess skin. She fully understands that without the surgery she can never wear a bikini or two piece suit. But like she says...I'm 57 and have never worn either in my life - so what's the big deal?
She did the gastric by-pass for health reasons & is feeling better than she's ever felt in her life. She's over-joyed that she can play with her grandkids and can ride a bicycle, and can go shopping without the aid of a walker or ECV. That's her "cosmetic surgery" - a walker & ECV-"ectomy"! I'm proud of her and I'm proud of Rog.
Then again, (and I really mean this)... I like people for their personalities and not their looks. I've known some really handsome men and beautiful women that were utter @zzes. I've known those that society would deem "ugly" and they are wonderful people who have made my world a better place for having known them.
All the surgery in the world can't change someone who is ugly on the inside.
