Hi.  Welcome to my blog, friend.  The first one I have ever made in my life.  How are you doing?  I believe friendship, like love, is infinite.  There is as much to give and receive, as you would like.  Let’s be friends, and help each other meet and maintain our weight loss goals together.

Duodenal Switch Animation (silent)
on April 30, 2011 11:55 pm
"A picture is worth a thousand words." A video is worth even more.  This picure links to a silent computer animation that shows how the Duodenal Switch works.

Empathize With Others
on April 8, 2011 3:15 am
Each of us is unique, has been shaped by different environments during our life paths, and has made choices based on each of our personal circumstances.  Let’s be empathetic and helpful to those around us.  At first glance, some may think the character in the following video is a pretty girl that leads a charmed life.  Reality for the character is that she has been betrayed by friends, eats alone in school, has been date raped, and her best friend was murdered.  One of the few times she is happy is when surrounded by food with a spoon in her mouth at the end of the video.  Let’s offer kindness to people, and try not to judge them, because we don’t know where they have been.

This is not me.  It is a fitting cover for this particular video.

No Revision For Me
on April 7, 2011 3:53 am
My Lap–Band tool has not been working as well for me lately as it has in the past.  I got a copy of the Summary Plan Description from my insurance company, and found the section of coverage for WLS.  It states that “repeat weight loss surgery, which is a second or subsequent procedure performed, regardless of type of weight loss surgery performed and regardless of coverage at the time of the previous procedure” is not covered.  I guess that means I am not covered for any type of revision.  I can still keep trying, right?  The bear picture links to a video that shows you how the digestive system works.

How Water Can Help You Lose Weight
on November 24, 2007 11:26 am

Most people are not drinking enough water, and their bodies are retaining water as a result.  Learn how much is the right amount for your body weight, and how it can help you lose weight.  I need to drink more water.  What about you?

My Story

I got a Lap Band to help me lose weight, so that I will be healthier.  It has not worked as expected.  I believe a Duodenal Switch revision may be best for my health.
