Good luck Yenta. For some reason I have been seeing a lot of documentaries on morbid obesity and surgical weight loss recently.
Nothing precious, plain to see, don't make a fuss over me. Not loud, not soft, but somewhere inbetween. Say sorry, just let it be the word you mean.

you do what you have to, and the heck with the naysayers........sounds like you've got a plan, and I am sure it will work out exactly as you want it to. It's a very brave thing you are doing....not sure if I could. Bravo!

He is very smart, Mominator. He is the ONLY doc at Hartford Hospital who does this surgery. He started the program a year ago and I am very proud to be one of his patients.

Bravo sweetheart! That's terrific news. I know it's been a long hard road for you and you deserve it ever so much! Maybe the next wish you get WILL be Ty Pennington. LOL.

All the best to you, Yenta, Dear.
This just made me cry - a lot. A very close friend is arriving at my house tomorrow for a couple of days. She's on a 10-day road-trip, during which time she needs to decide whether to have bypass surgery. She, too, has lived with obesity for many years, and is also very diabetic. She is scared and frightened, but must live with the knowledge that there may be fewer options as the days go by.
I'm going to share your story with her, and please know that all my best thoughts are with you as you move toward a brighter future.

Thank you all for your good wishes and thoughts. This is a tough one for me. DG: please tell your friend that I found it far more scarier to be morbidly obese on a day to day basis than actually having the surgery. I have lived with the cardiac complications as well as diabetes for many years now. However, there are so many good medicines around now to help stabilize her for surgery. Also, ther lap band is far less invasive than the bypass. It takes about 45 mins to an hour in the OR as opposed to nearly 3. That means much less time under anesthesia. Do encourage her to go to her local hospital's support group if they have one BEFORE surgery. That has made quite a diffrence for me.

My mother is morbidly obese as well as one of my sisters. I wish they both would have the surgery. My mother will be 75 so is probably too old.
I hope all is well and I will send positive vibes to you!!!!!
