Everything will work out, you just keep on doing what your doing. I went a couple of years ago and I am 300+ and I rode everything, including space mountain. It was a wonderful time, and talk about getting your exercise in. Have Fun and Good Luck

I haven't had the surgery yet, I am doing the insurance's 6 month diet. But I know a lot of people that have had very successfull surgerys in Mexico. If you have any problems wouldn't your pcp be able to help you. But you going by yourself, I don't think I would do. Just my opionion, hope it helped. Good Luck

I have heard a lot of rude comments all my life, but the worest ones are from family.... 1. My dad is over weight also 250ish, always tells me you would go a lot farther in life if you would just lose some weight.... People treat fat people differently. 2. My mother and I were talking about I was built like my grandmother, and my grandmother said..I've never been that fat before!!! 3. As a teenager, I was around 13 and I wasn't really over weight then, but me and my mother didn't get along very well, she asked me one time do you wash under all them rolls!!! OMG!! It's not like I dirt or stinky, she just said it to be mean!!! And of course I always get the you have such a pretty face...blah..blah...blah... The one I hate the most is someone will be talking about someone being over weight or they will call someone fatass and then look at you and say OH no offense!!! WTH!! I could go on and on, but I think I feel better now, saying all that!!!

She came into the ER the police had brought her in. Because she was CRAZZZY!!

I would have asked her... So what do you do for your back fat!!! Got any pointers?

OMG!! People are so mean, and it does seem like its the ones that are over weight that make the rude comments. I work at a hospital and one night there was a very drunk women(CRAZY) in there and I walked into her room and she said..oh please don't sit on me you would kill me!!!!

Have you had anything besides water and juice? My nurse said that sometimes the nausea your feeling is becasue you are hungery, maybe try a protein shake, yogurt, or something filling that is on your list of things you can eat, maybe that will make you feel better.I hope you feel better soon.

You know there are those that just can't handle getting their blood drawn!! lol. I draw blood all the time on people and about 90% say I'm scared to death of needles and they can't even watch me. I have had a few pass out on me. Your electrolytes may be out of whack because you may be dehydrated a little or you may be anemic or you may have just passed out due to them drawning your blood! lol Good Luck!!

Yea, I agree with trj, it sounds like your not getting enough food. You don't eat enough and your body will think it is starving and it will store fat. I know it sounds silly but maybe you need to eat more, start with protien and then vegs and fruits. The protien will help you stay full longer. Talk to your doctor. Good Luck:thumbup:

It all depends on you, on which surgery you want, both are WLS that will get the same result in the end. You can be more than 100lbs over weight and the lap band will still work for you, it is just a slower pace than the other, RNY. With the gastric-bypass you can have more complications. My doctor told us in his seminar that between the two, Lap Band and RNY you would have lost about the same amount of weight in 3-5 years. They even out, yes you will lose weight very quickly with the RNY, it takes a little longer with lap band. It should be up to you on which surgery you want, your paying for it!! Good Luck

I am in the process of doing my 6 month visits. It is required by my insurance. What it is, is that you have to show a 6 consective months of doctor supervised visits. You can ask your personal pcp, or NP, or the doctor that is doing your surgery, they usually have a 6 mth program. My doctor told me it's really not if you lose weight or not, it's to show the insurance that you can, or have tried to lose the weight, and can stick with something for 6 consective months. Good Luck

You have lost weight, so any weight lost is a good thing. You could also try water arobics, it's not so hard on your body. Good luck and keep up the good work.
