I'm Pansy,

Firstly, I'd like to thank all of you who so kindly to my posts about my sister's problems. She started her journey with GBP a few months ago. My journey has taken a different route. Although she's lost a lot of weight, it's from being sick and weak. She can barely function. I don't want to say too much on cyber-space. But I'm really angry with the team who performed the procedure and the lack of information we were given prior to our procedures.
We argued again. I wish I knew what to do.

Alt Weight Loss Surgery Insurance
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.

The first and most important question is "Does she want to help herself?" Some people get so into playing the victim they push away anything that will help them. If she's too far into enjoying her misery, you can't help her.

On the other hand, if she wants help, if she's willing to engage herself with the process and take an active role in her recovery, there are massive resources here and in other places to help her do it.

But you can't force her. She has to want it bad enough to do the hard stuff it takes to get healthy again.

Good luck!!

CT again is right! This is no easy carnival ride. Not in the least. You gotta want it. The surgery, the information, the lists upon lists of what to eat and what NOT to eat. This is a tool and if you don't know how to use it -- it can be dangerous. ( Like a big chain saw) scary........... But you have to be willing to put the time in too. The shopping for the good food and cooking it properly.... healthy ways not the fast and easy way but the best investment of time and money anybody will ever make.
