DEAR GABBY

SSBBW Magazine's resident advice columnist

Hey there everyone. I'm Gabby and I'm going to be taking your questions now. I hope I can be of help to all you amazing readers, so please don't hesitate to let me know what is bothering you.

Now keep sendin' in those letters to me at info@ssbbw-magazine.com and make sure you mark it Attention: Dear Gabby.

Dear Gabby,

I am 350 lbs and quite happy with myself and my weight. But my friends and family continue to bug me about having surgery to "fix" me. I am so scared of having the surgery and have heard terrible horror stories about it. What should I do?

Okay, are your friends and family the ones to have the surgery? No!!! There is your answer. It is your body and your life - nobody elses.

Stick to your guns my friend. If they think surgery is the answer let them go and have it.

There are complications and pros and cons to any procedure and should not be entered into lightly. If, at some point, you decide it may be right for you then research it thoroughly, talk to doctors and also to people who have had it.

If you are OK with you (inside and out) then don't let anyone bully you into something you don't want to do. I happen to think you are fabulous just as you are!!!

Take care, Love, Gabby
