Laura describes how people react to her significant weight loss from gastric bypass surgery and how she feels about this.

Laura:
Even though I am a married woman and of course I am not looking for attention, I do notice that I get more attention, of course now, and looks, than when I was heavier. When people see me now, they comment that I am a different person. My mood has changed; my confidence has changed; I am excited because I am healthier. I am healthier for my kids. I am healthier for my husband. I am healthier for myself, and I feel really good. I feel younger. My daughter just had my first grandchild, and I am excited to be around for a long time with her.
