Sharon,
That must be so hard for you. I don't know how I would do faced with that challenge. You always keep such a good attitude, and I'm sure that you're screaming on the inside at times.
Yes, it would probably be good to get him out and change up his routine, and give YOU a break. He's probably frustrated too.
Topic: RE: What would you do?
If it were me I think I would be looking at the VSG.
But you have to keep in mind that I'm looking at things from the view point of having had a very hard time finding decent after care and just being sick to death of having to try to figure out the right balance of fills.
Honestly - I'm tired and while I am thrilled to have lost 60 pounds and kept it off (within a 5 pound range) I am pretty tired of being too tight one day and able to eat the world the next day.
I could never go the DS route - even though I have a good friend who has been very successful with it. I don't like eating meat that much, I won't drink protein shakes every day forever, I am really bad about taking supplements ...
But the VSG - the restriction without the need for frequent adjustments? Restriction of food volume without having to fight to get a doctor to believe/understand that liquids and solids do not act the same and just because the fluoro shows that the liquid is going right through doesn't mean that food goes through without pain?
I think I could be seriously tempted toward that.
It can't hurt to look into it and study it more, Phyllis.
And I think I speak for everyone when I say that you'd still be welcome (and encouraged) to hang out with us a little bit! LOL

I heard a report that there is a town in California where it topped $5.00 per gal.
Topic: RE: What would you do?
Phyllis ...You are once again at a threshhold, just like 2 years ago when you had to make a decision to have weight loss surgery.... then had to chose the surgery you were most comfortable with. It is the same way now , researching, asking questions thinking things over.. trying to make the right choice , seems like nothing worth having is easy .Whatever you decide in the end , it will be the right choice for you because no one can really make that final choice but you not even your surgeon, after all it is your body and no one else's. I know this is an an exciting but scary time again for you and there is so much uncertainty with it all ,but you will get thru it and make a choice . I think you are really lucky to be able to have these choices available to for you.after going thur one weight loss surgery already most of us are not this fortunate, will be waiting to see what decision you do make ((((HUG)))

Gas here in N. Alabama is around $3.10 for regular unleaded ... give or take $0.10.
At least that is what it was when I was out driving yesterday. Gosh only knows how much it is today.

I took Michael, to his Neurologist, yesterday, and I knew he had failed since his last visit. He has been on straight VA free medical, but in July, I'm having him go on Medicare, to help with costs, and services. He will be able to have VNA, come into our home, for therapy, for is left side, he is SO rigid, and clumsy. He hasn't had a stroke, it is just the result of his illness. She upped his anxiety med, but can't up the rest, anymore. He finally agreed, to go to a daycare, with me with him, of course, and see what activities they have, and do some memory exercises. I've tried to keep his mind moving, but he won't cooperate. So, if I can get him out of the house, more, this spring, and summer, we feel it will at least make him feel better! Of course, we also, know they are, temporary, solutions, but we have to do what we can, to help him! He is SO bullheaded! So....please say a prayer for him, or give your good thoughts, as it will be very miuch appreciated!
