Hi, My name is Jessica.
This is my mother Colleen. The picture on top is of three year’s ago. My mother use to be heavy. The doctors told her she was obese, so she went and had a gastric bypass surgery. My mother weighted 240 pounds and is 5’4 inches tall. She wasn’t the heathiest person, but she was loved anyway. She could make me laugh and she was there for me when she needed me. She is a mother of four and everyone loved her for her, not for her weight.
Three years later, and after the gastric bypass, a tummy tuck, two special stomach surgerys from where the thing that called a “stomach” they made had holes in it and a boob job later, my mother is now 91 pounds. She is getting infections all the time. She can hardly eat, because either she feels sick afterwards or she throws up. I really don’t know if my mom likes this, I don’t know if she thinks shes little enough now, or if shes pretty, but I know for sure this is not my mother.
This woman, is to little. This woman is sick. This woman spends half the time, sleeping, or stressing, or being sick, or in the hospital. Im lucky if I get afew hours or a day out of a week that is a good day for my mom.
I love my mom, and I’m just asking, please, please repost this. Please show my mom that she was fine before. Help me prove to her, that being this little isn’t good. Please you guys, help me get my mom back <3
Repost!!
In addition to the myriad risks any kind of bariatric surgery has, it also triggers the same thing that plastic surgery triggers in many people. An addiction. Just one more surgery, one more tummy tuck, I lost 200lbs! I bet I can make it 250! Oh, now I have to fix my boobs, then I’ll be ‘perfect’.
This is evidence that it doesn’t work. You can see in this poor woman’s face that she’s not happy or healthy (two of the main selling points for bariatric surgery), and it’s absolutely heartbreaking.
If you know anyone who’s considering bariatric surgery, please, please, please try to convince them not to. There are much, much worse things than being fat.
The most amazingly beautiful photo ever !
Lionel, 99, and his wife Ellen Buxton, 100, met in March 1930, married on July 18th 1936 and have been inseperable ever since.
The couple, together a total of 82 years, have not spent more than one night apart.
Upon speaking of their marriage, Ellen says:
“We have never been apart really and have never wanted anyone else. We have been married happily because we have been good friends as well as husband and wife.
We have always made sure we have had nice evenings out together. Whether it is going for a romantic meal or out to play bingo
‘We are more in love now than ever. We keep each other going.”
Now THAT is true love.
