| WLS Mentor  |  Omg OMG after just venting recently about how my brother treats me and how he thinks i'm just lazy and trying to take an easy way out you'll never guess. He called me last night and was asking all sorts of questions about the surgery! I can't believe it. up till now he's pretty much ignored the subject but last night we talked for almost 2 hours about the surgery, the risks, what i'm doing now to prepare, how life will be after, what they actually do to your insides. And then, after this he says well i don't like the idea of what they do because it sounds risky but if this is what you feel you need to improve yourself and your life then i'm behind you. I want you to know that i respect that your trying to do something to be healthier and if you need me i'm here for you. OMG this from a guy who once said he couldn't stand to be around me because of how lazy i was. I'm so shocked. i just had to share this with you all. wow!

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  | Great, huh? OK, I take back what I said about him, that he'll end up a big lazy guy if he keeps treating you like he used to. Sooooo very glad to hear that your brother is behind you. Family support is the best, and I guess (since I have a kid brother, too) brothers are like that--they care about you, but don't really know how to express it, so they act nasty--just like the boy who bullies you because he's got something for you. So very happy for you!

Height:  | I am so glad to hear that your brother has decided to support you. Sometimes it is hard for people to understand what we go through and why we decide to do this, but once you are loosing weight they will see why firsthand. janae |
