It's none of her business where you spend the money. SHE said you have to promise ME, the BANK didn't say you have to promise any such thing. Huh, promise??? A personal loan, is a personal loan. What you do with it is YOUR business.

Umm...legally, she can't do that. I work at a bank, and I'd be fired if I ever told someone they couldn't do something with their own money! My goodness! That's unethical!

I understand that she can't say that really but we live in a small town and she could easly just say no. so any input on us doctors would be helpful.

That's just unbelievable! Who does she think she is?? Is this the loan officer, bank president, what? Either way it doesn't matter. If it's a personal loan, that's just what it is "personal" they have no right to ask you what you will be doing with the money. You just need to qualify for the loan. Tell her the only thing you're going to promise is to spend the money wisely investing in your healthy future. No, really it's none of her business! This makes me so mad people who bully others and that's just what she is - a bully.

"Specials" make me shudder. In any event, I suggest you open a new thread and ask that question. . Having said that, please don't pick someone based on price or the opinion of strangers on this website alone. Research, research , research. Best of luck!

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
