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 | On the weight loss front, you've done awesome!! It's hard when it slows though, I know I got spoiled to the melting away faze and now I feel I am just on a regular diet (as long as I dont push my limits). Loneliness is the pitts. I was one of those kids no body played with in school so I learned early on about coping skills. Some things help, others dont and everyone is different. Also, weather can play a role in isolating us or bringing our moods down. Might I suggest buying yourself some pretty bright spring flowers? maybe a manicure or pedicure? what about a slight alteration to your hairstyle - I keep going for something fluffier so it looks thicker - lol! Maybe even paint a room in your home - something bright and cheery. The internet is a blessing, look at how many of us there are, and so far flung! I know this isnt the same as an intimate friendship, but it is a nice social place to be. I enjoy your wit and advice. Hope you're feeling better soon

I"m so sorry sweetie....get up, move around, get out of the house....go to Walmart and just walk around...smile at people and look them in the eye....(it works in Texas LOL). I'm so crazy, I drive around waving at people....they look at me like I've lost a wing nut (cuz no one here is FROM TEXAS ANYMORE LOL!!!!) It's also VERY typical for people to get this way during the winter season. SAD (Seasonal associative disorder) is very common and a lot of people get this way in the winter.....you have the surgery and all it's wonder compiled on top of that & it's a cocktail for some yucky days....it will pass...YOU ALWAYS HAVE US!!! |

Weight Loss Method Roux en Y Gastric Bypass | Hi Lazel, I used to feel the same way. Then when I started this journey I met a wonderful woman who is very special to me. Everyday she talks to me and encourages me through my journey. If I post a WOW moment she is always the first one there leaving me a congratulations post!! If someone is mean she is the first one there to defend me. If I am having a blue day she is the first one to cheer me up!! If she wants an overnight or shopping buddy she calls ME!!! (I am always totally up for that!!) lol Or if she wants a friend over just to sit and drink tea or play scrabble she calls and I go without hesitation!! I truly hope you find this type of friend on your journey too!! Being on here will help. Let yourself trust and be open when someone is reaching out. It will be the Best thing that ever happened to you!!  If I lived close I would come visit you and give you a big HUG!!! I have added you as a buddy on my buddy list and I promise I will start getting to know you better. I would like that very much!! Nancy you are so loved by me!! Thank you my friend!!! (((((((((((((((((HUGS)))))))))))))))))))))

I'm sorry you are feeling so lonely. I think that's a normal feeling with all of the changes going on in our body and stuff. I'm here for you anytime you need me. You can pm me if you want, and I'll give you my phone number. I seriously mean that. We all need somebody and if you ever want to talk, I'm here.

OH BOY, the "other" L word, On top of what was mentioned above about SAD, which I do suffer from every stinking winter, no longer having that old dependable friend FOOD is a new lonelyness I am trying to cope with too. I do wish we were all closer in miles so we could be there for each other, I have dreamt of meeting all my RR friends, but I wake up still all alone WAY out here in California. Hope things start getting better for ya, try some of the things that Clancy said or what Kath said, I personally will have to try what Kath said just cause it made me laugh.

I'm glad you let us know! This journey isn't easy - food doesn't make us feel down, it doesn't call us names, it doesn't betray us,it doesn't judge us. It doesn't answer us. It's just there. Makes our stomach feel full, numbs our thoughts. When it's not there anymore, that empty feeling has to be filled with something! Our tool is just as much for our psyche as it is for our weight loss! My thoughts are with you - and as a band of friends, we are all here as well!

Here's a BIG HUG for all of you who need it!! Don't let these hard times get you down--you are all going to make it through this. Think happy thoughts--this is your time in your life, don't let people around you take what you need in you life, put the negative stuff back to them, you deserve more and should expect it. Wishing you all well.
