Topic: why im have hard time get rid of my old clothes

I do not know why I'm have hard time get rid of my old clothes, I know I will never need them again or I never weigh over 700lbs again. To me I think I'm have difficulty time get rid of them is because my old clothes were my Security blanket. Did anyone else have difficulty time get rid of their old clothes after weight loss surgery.

Sorry, I thought that I posted this in the Ontario forum, not just a general one

Which "North Bay" are you in - there are probably a hundred north bays around the US, and many more around the world. This is much the same as other regional references such as "tri-states area" which is only meaningful to locals of the half dozen tri-states areas in the country.

Topic: RE: Eating out after surgery

I often vomit up fries, pasta, bread, and meat. But everyone's pouch is different. So to avoid the 'exposure' to my surgery and vomiting, I often stick to soup and salad. No one in my life knows except for my husband.

Topic: HELP

I am currently living in North Bay, and my GP will not approve me for weight loss surgery. He will not even consider it.

Anyone from North Bay either know of a doctor willing to consider bariatric surgery?

I meet the criteria for it.

Thanks in advance ??

Any weight loss surgery will disqualify you from military service.

Topic: RE: Trying Cool Sculpting Today ! ( Otherwise Known as Fat Freezing)

Yes it?s VERY expensive compared to tried and true ( and permanently effective) liposuction.

The question is do I want to wait till April essentially to get real lipo done ? I can?t wear compression garments around my parents in Florida where I?m expected to swim every other day!

Yikes ! It?s a big decision I need to make by Monday morning .

I would say it?s triple the expense for uncertain results . Certainly not fifteen lbs or even ten lbs of fat removal ? maybe two lbs max for triple the price of lipo and in just a couple of small areas.
