I have contacted the next closest hospital for bariatric surgeries and they have several highly qualified surgeons.. I am waiting for a call from them now.. I feel empowered once again.. I can have hope to reclaim my life.. and my health.. my future.. donnaco myturnow:clap2:

I am going to tell you of a life, a love story.. I was raised in the country.. mom and dad were real nice loved each other and us kids.. married my highschool sweetheart. (I have always been a big girl) got married at 16 ..in love.. at 18 had my first son.Matthew.. such a loving boy.. big blue eyes. mommies boy.. I didn't want hiim to be an only child so we had another boy and girl..precious.. so blessed... when matt was 16 he developed a seizure disorder.. he only had 4 the last one took his precious life. he was 19...in the middle of the night in his bed.. my dh went to wake him and found him ... I was at work.. no idea.. in the next year my father died slowly of cancer. I had my mom move in to my house.. she became so ill I could not care for her.. placed her in a nursing home. she was a trooper. she thought she was at school..a dorm room... sometimes she knew different but ... what an example of trusting me.. mom died 1 year after dad... 10 weeks later got fired from the best job i ever had... blamed for anothers action. I was in such a blurr.. didn't know what to do.. but pressed on as much as I could.. didn't wish to return to the factory world of work.. bought a small business a bakery.. worked (my dh and me and kids) 7 days aweek trying to make it work.. a large donut Kompany took many of my clients by cheating ...( bribery, kickbacks) my business failed.. My dh also worked at local factory. lost his job to the NAFTA act they moved to mexico.. so in the last 7 years I have had __the talk with God and myself...Mostly if not for my 2 surviving kids... middle son now 19!! daughter 17.. I don't know... a tree while driving the car ... has crossed my mind.. but it has to get better right..... I have put on weight emotionally.. yes I have... thanks for caring enough to read... sorry so long.. myturnow.. donnaco

I am courious about your homes. Has this had an impact on your kids and dh? I am trying to get ins approval and my family is under the impression that they will benefit with a new style of food purchasing, cooking, menus, more physical activity... what do you think? myturnow....donnaco

so true.. I'm donna pre-banded , the one woman i work with that is banded is a real source of info.. I always ask her if she feels like talking about it.. and if she has time.. this is totally privite and we should be respectful to each other... some kinda world we live in..

Just a few questions about a hypothyroid... to anyone that can field one.....know anyone that has been denied because of thyroid? was overdosed on synthroid.. then went off meds... had blood work today.. wondering if this could get me denied... my bmi is 42.5 bcbs of ma anxious to re submit... my bmi went up over hoildays and should be in the zone...if stupid thyroid don't mess anything up.... just looking for re-assurance... thanks...donnaco myturnow

be sure to have bmi of 40 or some major problems... my asthma, arthritis, borderline hypertention, wasn't enough..at a bmi of 37.7 save yourself time.. and worry..donnaco
