I am looking for a surgeon that will give me some options for weight loss, I have been down this road a few times whether to get it done or not. I want to find a good surgeon in my area but I have found the better ones are a few hours away and I am worried about complications and me not being able to get back to him/her in a hurry if I need too. There are two in this area that I have visited and neither of them have outstanding surgical records and have not been rated that high, so I hate to settle with them. This may be a long shot but I am wondering if anyone is in my area or outside this area that could help.

I am totally into 600lb life featuring Dr. Nowzaradan so I was curious if anyone knows or has a copy of the diet plan he sends home with his patients after he sees them for the first time. He expects large weight loss, in a month or two so I am curious as to what the diet plan consists of.

I know this is a long shot but I am looking for anyone in the Appleton, WI area that has had surgery or thinking about it. I have been told that the two surgeons here know their stuff. I did go to a meeting to meet them but of course they are always going to put out the best of themselves......lol.

LOVE IT!!!

When the insurance lady at the hospital ran my insurance through they would only approve for the roux and lapband. Then she said they don't do lapbands there, which wouldn't have been my second choice anyways.

If I do get approved by my insurance, they will only do lapband and roux en y surgery. I am so bummed because all the research I have done lead me to a sleeve. Idk what it is but I am kind of scared of the roux, gotta somehow wrap my head around this. Hehehe, not sure what I am asking here at all. I guess some words of advice!

Has anyone gone through Badger Care and if so how long was the approval process?

Can someone help me find a surgeon? I googled it and found all kinds of info but not detailed info about the surgeons in my area. How did you find your surgeon? where do I start? I would ask around but I really don't know who to ask, or where to go. I am new to the area...........eeekss

Yesterday a little girl, guess she must have been around 5 or 6 came up to me and asked me how come I was so big and had such a small head............ I have been very depressed about my weight lately, I had lost a bunch only to gain it back after finding out I couldn't get the surgery. I am the type of person that fixates on what others say, so I can't seem to get it out of my head. I walked away to do a little bit of crying!

This is just a thought I had while reading the posts! Set the table for yourself with candles and maybe light music if you like. I have this feeling that one or a number of your family members will not want you in the kitchen eating alone and join you

I wasn't talking about bariatric pal I was talking about some others, I love this site and I love the people here. Did I word this post wrong perhaps?

Being quite a newbie myself I think that would be a huge benefit for them and for the site. There have been many forums, not mentioning any names about WLS and I feel like I am getting ignored and no sense bothering with them anymore. This forum is so great because of quick replies that having a separate section for them could make it even more interesting for newbies like myself. I hope Alex likes this idea!

WHEWY!!!

VSGAnn, the link came up to a page not found for me.

I have 50 cats and about 25 dogs...........lol I work at a rescue
