| WLS Mentor  |  others it's funny how others react to this surgery. so far everybody but my mom is now behind me in this and i don't think it's cause she doesn't think i can do this, she had been seeing the changes i've been making and has acknowledged them, but she still is looking for another way for me to lose weight. I've tried everyway and this is my last hope but she still tells me about others who are losing weight without the surgery and how they are doing it. she just doesn't understand that i can't do it so simply as others. yes i'm eating healthier and excercising but unless i purge my system with laxatives or go back to bulima i know i can not get satisfying results. God knows i've tried and still am. i need this surgery for my health and it's gonna be good for my ego and self esteem also. i just wish she would lay off telling me how much others have lost without surgery, as if if it worked for them it will work for me. it doesn't I've tried it and it doesn't work for me, it's almost feels like having my face rubbed in others accomplishments.Not that she's doing that on purpose to make me feel that way, it just does. And of course i sit and don't say how it makes me feel just to avoid and argument and then i feel bad after. Can't wait till the surgery is over and she won't be able to try to talk me out of it. When she'll be able to tell others how much i've lost and how different my life is now after the surgery compared to before thanks for letting me vent again sorry if i repeat some things i just get so frustrated sometimes with the incomprehension thanks ve tried it

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.  |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass     | Freebird i can fully relate to ur diet frustrations in ways others cant. MY stomach pre op was the bottome less pit, never got satisfied, never got full and i could eat and eat and eat. AND i did. NOW with the surgery, i know what FULL is and with this tool i can truly eat less and be satisfied. So for me diets never worked because of this NEVER satisfied trait i had. IN some ways free....that was my birthdefect and its now been repaired for me. ALL the best and dont worry about others many wont be supportive of the surgery but its all about "YOU" right now. HUGS be well

Height: | Free I can totally relate to you here on this point. My mother in law still acts like she questions whether or not I should have just done it on my own. It took a long time for my husband and I to realize that nothing else would work. His mom is very opinionated and has always been dieting going up and down in weight. I used to get really frustrated when I would be at their home and have to sit through masked discussions at dinner about how so and so has lost so much weight and well, just how happy and full of life contentment they look now. They always made it sound like some magical thing like dieting and being skinny was the only thing that made happiness happen and that a fat person could never be happy or deserve to be. Of course when confronted, they said that they never meant it to come across that way, and that I was just immature and overly sensitive. However, I am going to lose the weight, I am going to be happy, but it is going to be because I want it for me and my family, not to impress or be accepted by them. Good luck Freebird. I know it hurts, but you are a gem and soon she will be able to see how you will shine. Janae |
