Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass  |  Got a PhD offer! This made things more confusing and frustrating !!!!! I called Durham University today and spoke with my future supervisior. The project that I will work on is really challanging and appealing!! big IOC's like BP and Shell are working on the same area with the same approach! It's a wow program believe me. He liked me and said I heard good comments about you from your previous BP mentor and you know exactly what do you wanna do, your a good candidate! how is it if you instead of doing one year master degree, do 3 year PhD in one go! I was can I do that?? he said "yes yes in fact I had PhD without master!" My heart was beating so hard that's my dream since I was a little :~) But now it's more complicated, what will happen with my husband/work. He kissed b**ts to allow him to have one year leave! now I want him to come for 3 years that's impossible! and my kids, if Jude is now 3 years old she'll be 6 when I'm done with my PhD how about her school? and Dana will be 3! can I be away from home for 3 YEARS!!! i DUNNO I'm really puzzled now =/

Yes, you can often get insurance cover for your Weight Loss Surgery. Our own Craig "Big-T" Thompson has been there and done that, and he's written an e-book about it.  |

| Super Moderator  | ((((((HUGS)))))) Obviously, that's a very tempting offer, but the only thing you can do is talk it out with your DH and look into all the pros and cons. PhD takes a lot of hard and serious work, and is well woth it, but how much is it going to affect your family? The only thing I can tell you is that I worked on mine after my girls started school, and then, took it slowly, instead of doing it in the shortest time possible, as I was working as well as doing the research for the degree. I hope everything works out for the best, but you'll have to keep in mind that what you think is the best, may not be the best in our Creator's eye. Things will work out in His time, not ours. Inshallah, I remember this word from my days in Turkey.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Well my PhD dreams have gone with the wind!! I contacted my financial sponsor who gave me the schoalrship and guess what?!! the maximum time duration for my scholarship is 3 years (which is exactly the time I can finish my PhD), but according to their regulation I have to come back with a master degree certificate not anything higher like Mphil or PhD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How silly is that! Duh!!!!! So I'm back to round one, to Leeds one year taught program coz this will please my family and the hell with my sponsor ignorance and mental disability!! I hate them hate them hate them!! UUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH I feel so stupid!!! why should I follow their (^%#$@$&% sorry I'm cursing) regulations while I'm mentally and intellectually capable to get higher education. The professor who called me and interviewed me told me that I'm a good candidate to get the PhD in a heart beat. I hate byrocracy it's really stupid!

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Thank you sweetheart. We're a very happy loving family, and that what makes it harder for me to leave them for the studies. Either we all go or we all stay hehehe. I dunno but people told me that I'm are very passionate and attached to my family. Sounds a bit eccentric in this material world.

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | I will be praying for you and all the decisions you have to make in this. Good luck and I would have a really hard time leaving my family for that long too. You will do what it is you are supposed to be doing.
