Totally agree with Mike's post. I absolutely have no problem with honesty and not surgar-coating the truth...but it's just that I've noticed a "trend" of sorts about reply posts that I don't agree with. But then....that's MY problem!

I'm not going to sugarcoat and be like 'ohhh its okay' or 'omg ur surgeon is soooo mean' because it is NOT okay and you surgeon knows more than we all do combined. Maybe there is something further going on that you and your doctor need to discuss.. but at 27, with no KNOWN medical history... theres no excuse for a 15 lbs GAIN...

I think the original poster KNEW that the 15 lbs gain wasn't smart. And was just kind of freaking out! All I can say is that we all have our demons to face....and they are not based on age.
