NOW I HAD THE SURGERY FEB 2, ITS NOW MAY 25, MY STOMACH STILL SENSITIVE AND I LOOK LIKE I DID BEFORE THE SURGERY EXCEPT WITHOUT THE BOTTOM HANGING, I FEEL LIKE I WASTED MY MONEY ALONG WITH MY FRIENDS WHO TELL ME CONSTANTLY. I HAVE BEEN DIETING AND WALKING AND NO CHANGE IN IT. THIS IS WHY I WENT TO HAVE THE SURGERY DONE IN THE FIRST PLACE, BECAUSE EVERYTHING I TRIED FAILED. I FEEL HOPELESS ASHAMED, AND EMBARRASSED TO TELL ANYONE ELSE THAT I HAD THIS SURGERY DONE. AFTER ALL THIS MONEY I SPENT.
