YES! You are not alone. My doc doesn't believe in "diets" he says they will never work. It's a new life style we have to strive for because when the diets over the weight comes back and so far he's right I have tried weight watchers, medical weight loss, nutrisystem spend thousands of dollars and I am still over weight. I have gained all I lost. I have to learn how to eat, there is no end date. Hang in there

Do you have any siblings? Sounds like you might be an only child. When my mom is sick I really don't want anyone else helping or making decisions I have to be there because she is always there for me. I have been in and out of the hospital a lot and she's there taking me to the doc cleaning up puke, taking care of my daughter whatever. So when she is down I'm right there ALWAYS. It's tough. I would check to see how long your approval is good for and see what the docs think about mom, how long will she be in the hospital, physical theraphy etc. It will work out for you guys!! I'm so glad she's okay now she just has to get better!! Best Wishes

I gave up on it, I hate the way the forum looks on the iPad. Delete and re-install or maybe you need an update. Good Luck

Cardiology Clearance
ElleG replied to Kathy Pitcher's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think you will be fine! I have high blood pressure and have been seeing a cardiologist for 4 years so it was easy for me. I discuss everything with him, I trust him and his opinion. NO WORRIES -
Why RNY and not the sleeve?
ElleG replied to lisaarellano's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I have a cousin that got the sleeve. She has lost 80 pounds and that is amazing... she is still extremely overweight. My doc feels the RNY is best for me and I trust him. he helped me decide after lap band failure. Good Luck! -

Lapband removal/bypass insurance approval
ElleG replied to amvg85's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Well I have to say it really helps to hear I'm not alone. The band and I didn't mesh either. My weight has gone up and down and as I type this I am the same weight I was before the band. My fingers and toes are crossed for us all 2nd time has to be a charm. Lots of luck (HUGS) -
I would think your body is like "What the heck" that was fast... I think that is amazing. I'm sure you will hit your goal. Celebrate the 100!!!!!!!!!!!!

Switched Procedure From Band To RNY Today
ElleG replied to Kathy Pitcher's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I currently have a band and I'm trying to get a revision to the bypass. The band was not the right choice for me. I would listen to the doc. It sucks to go thru the pain of the surgery for nothing, now I have to do it again. I have faith the bypass will be the right thing for me. Best Wishes -
It's an emotional journey. Go HUG your mom It will all work out for you!

AWESOME!!! (HUGS)
