I feel sorry for the guy, something in his life has caused him to have a distorted view of his body, I guess. I saw the picture, and thought he looked good, really good, like Conan. About plastic surgery, I would not say I couldn't. I may have breast implants one day for perkiness, or a partial face lift. After being what I have been through, those ideas are minor and if they help another's self esteem after pooping out your belly, you deserve anything you want, go for it! Being cut open from center belly to crotch hair is alot different. Don't look down on anyone who was done something they wanted to do after a life threatening illness was taken care of. They are treating themselves like they have been at deaths door and the door was luckily still closed.

I still can't seem to find the reason why anyone would want to put yourself through surgery and pain for your looks! It's so foreign to me. I've had five surgeries (not all related to my colon) in my life and I would rather die than do someting just because I am not totally happy with my body. To make matters worse, she constantly belittles me (I doubt on purpose, but it still hurts) about how painful and awful and expensive her surgery was! Man, I still have side effects six years later and am still paying for it! Don't talk to me about it!!! I think going through what we've been through (you more than me) gives us a different outlook on life. Life is so fragile and to be here and healthy, means the world to me. <BR/>MaggieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3217401382021623218.post-50732906600844751612007-02-07T06:46:00.000-08:002007-02-07T06:46:00.000-08:00to body builders its a hobby, something to do, jus...to body builders its a hobby, something to do, just like import tuners, gangbangers, Duck hunters and Married Swingers. its a way to pass the time. unfortunately some hobbies are way more dangerous than others.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
