3 roadblocks to WLS - Pain Management, BED... Ideas Welcome
CharlotteWebb replied to flavaofbravery's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It doesn't matter how many times we fall as long as we get back up and continue forward. Fall 9 times stand up 10. Don't give up on yourself. Do accept your own excuses why failing is ok. If you do what you've always done you'll get what you've always gotten. Remember, nothing changes if nothing changes. I think you can achieve anything you want to achieve. I will cheer for you. -

If you weren't obese "all" of your life, what is it that caused you to become obese ?
CharlotteWebb replied to My Bariatric Life's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I was raped at 13. I have Rape Trauma PTSD. I medicated feelings of worthlessness and dirtiness by binging on soda and carbs. I underwent Intensive Outpatient Therapy in 2009 after seeing my rapist at a local supermarket. When he recognized me, he laughed. I waited for him to come out of the store and was going to run him over with my car. My baby boy saved his life by calling my cell phone. -

Has anyone else heard of this? I also have crohn's disease disease. When crohns is in remission I have terrible debilitating gastroparesis. I'd do anything for relief at this point. -

Doctor says he wouldn't let his own sister have rny!
CharlotteWebb replied to bellabloom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Probably because a healthier clientele would take money out of his pocket because his services wouldn't be quite so necessary. People that are helthier and feel good wouldn't need pain clinics to survive. That would be a huge loss for his practice. I would at least attend a seminar before I ruled RNY out. -
I have BlueCrossBlueShield Ruby Medicare replacement. I am just wondering what to expect with them. I went to the seminar. I had an appt with the surgeon whom I really like. I have the psyc eval on 12/4. My plan covers bariatric surgery 100% the surgeons office said. My pcp is on board and is very supportive. Just wondering what I am up against.
