Hello again! This is an interview I did with my 2 best friends on their perception of gastric bypass surgery. The editing isn't very good, sorry--oh, and it's pretty choppy, camera kept dying! This is Chalon and Emily and myself after we had some sushi and sake.

  • Great Video..you are very lucky to have your best friends support you..and be there for you..best wishes always

  • Thanks Cora. Hope you're doing well, hope to see you soon?!

  • wow, I am impressed, both of your friends had awesome answers to your first question. I hate the title "easy way out" I would love to know who said that first. Thanks for sharing this!

  • Thanks for watching :) I hate the "easy way out" phrase, too. I think I may have been the one to bring it up in this conversation...but I'm sure they'd thought of it before that.

  • No I didn't mean in your interview, I meant in "general" People say it's the easy way out. I'm losing 2-3 pounds a week, working out, and think about food 18 hours a day, trying to always plan ahead, how is that easy. Easy would be someone like your friend who has NEVER had to worry about weight. I was very impressed when she made that comment. She's never been in our shoes, so she can not speak for US. I think you all did a great job on thsi video, honest and open.

  • Oh! lol, yeah, I wonder that, too. Like who was the first one to think and say aloud that weight loss surgery was easy. I agree. Nothing about it is easy. It's hard from the second I wake up to the moment I fall asleep. And I wouldn't want someone who has never been overweight to speak for me...that's just silly :) Thanks for your comments, they're much appreciated!

  • Thanks for adding this video. Your friends were honest...and I appreciated understanding how other people might feel about WLS.

  • I meant "squirmed"

  • I know these are your homegirls, but I definately suirmed while watching it. My bestfriend knowsme and trusts my decisions enough to say, clearly this isn't the easy way out because I see you work hard in everything else you do. I hope these ladies continue to be around as your new life continues to unfold.

  • You rock Abbie. Thanks SO MUCH for your support and you're right...I haven't met an overweight person who wasn't humble. Chosing life is the only choice! See you soon :)

  • Thanks! Yeah, most people in my life were about 50/50 on surgery. I'd totally love to see a video like this from you down the road. Which is REALLY soon!

  • lol, totally.
