Topic: RE: Hey there
Well, it's been awhile - I'm thinking 6-7 years since I've been on here. It's great to see people still use this service- and by the few post's I've read- it's great people still help each other on here.
My one piece of advice is surgery is a tool, not the complete solution. A lot of it is mental, you need to be able to get your head around the new you. You need to accept the fact that 3 full pizza's a week is still possible (eventually) and is still NOT the answer. Lean on your friends/family and those on here.
One of the biggest problems for me was, well - accepting who I was becoming. Meaning I felt very uncomfortable walking into a bar and having women look at me.... strange but true. Having women run from me in a bar was a little more comfortable (joking). Be careful of the players - don't accept second best because it's what you have always accepted.

I was the same way at 2 yrs.. Actually, I may have been a little underweight. The best advise was given by someone who shall remain nameless..

Topic: RE: Preparing for Endoscopy and Colonoscopy
Yikes both at once! Unless your into kinky stuff, i don't blame you for being nervous. That being said take a deep breath and you will be fine- thanks to great drugs you wont feel or remember anything. I can remember having it done 20 years ago (like when i was like ummm 8- ya thats it) without the drugs.
Your biggest problem will be, as someone suggested is the parking and the loan process to pay for the gold-plated parking lot.
Good luck

Topic: RE: Disappointed and a rant.
I guess like everyone else I would suggest not to let it get to you. YOU make a realistic goal and go for it. It appears you have a realistic expectation of what you want, so I'm sure you will do fine.
I have to wonder though- is the Dr. putting your goal weight so high so its harder for you to fail and increases his success rate?- Just a question.
Enjoy the ride- and enjoy life!

Topic: RE: Please help a newly Post-Op over-worrier...
If the pain is severe then of course call your doctor, but remember you just put your body through hell with the surgery AND you are forcing your mind to comes to grip with new reality of your new better life.
I know it isnt easy, especially with a two year old but remember- sip, sip, walk,rest,protien,sip,rest, sip, protien, walk, rest. Obviiusly i guess you are stuck with oatmeal for a little while but remember to get in your water and easier said then done but but try to give your body a chance to recover.
Good luck and love the new you!

Hello all!!
Sorry- my laptop died so all I'm using usually is a crackberry. I found a Internet cafe today and here I am.
There is so many positive forces on here- and its great to catch up every so often.
As much as I love to annoy certain nameless people (cough, cough, karen, cough)- its great to see they are are still here giving people advice- and of course calling them out when needed.
I promise.. lol I will try to be on more often and chip in when I can.

Take a deep breath and try to relax! You are so close, you can see the ring that you need to grab on to. The chances are- that there wont be any issues- unless as mentioned there are other reasons why you shouldn't have it done right now.
Don't let the panic and anxiety kick in- honest- take every day as it comes.

Topic: RE: Not a good day
Don't be hard on yourself- we have all been there and of course done that. We live in a cruel world- and some people are idiots. You have decided to make some changes in your life that will alter the way you view the world- less then a month from now you will be waiting to be discharged. The changes wont happen overnight- and you will still have cravings, but with time- old habits will die.

Topic: RE: Declined, declined, declined.... :(
It has to be hard- I'm assuming your an underwriter? The problem is of course is the insurance company has a point- the more obese you are, the more risk there is of you becoming deceased before your time. I can understand, if for no other reason then liability issues, why your company doesnt allow you to mention the surgery. it still has to be difficult for you to actually break the news to them. Would thet allow you to refer them to a web-site like OH?
The good news is once you start losing the weight, it does get easier to get life insurance-

Topic: RE: Help! I've fallen down (off the wagon) ... and can't get up!
Sandy- let me voice what everyone else has said.. relax- don't beat yourself up so much. It appears that you have done a great job on your own. The best advise I would offer is remember- addiction is addiction- regardless if we are talking about drugs, booze or YES- FOOD. In a lot of ways- food addiction, in my humble opinion is tougher to beat- I mean- with booze and drugs- you stop taking them- yes the chemical withdrawal is pretty - but see what happens to your body of you decide to quite eating.
I really like the AA motto- 'One day at a time'- I live by it. If you make a boo boo- dust yourself off- give yourself a little kick in the butt, come one here for the support- and then start over again.
Good luck- you are going to do great!!
