RE: Re: thinking of bailing

I lost about thirty pound in the months prededing treatment, quite on purpose since it was needed. The nurse educator I deal with said that most people lose an average of ten pounds on treatment due to the way it makes you feel. Not so for me, I'm sure I"ll gain.

Mike, the stomach thing felt like hunger to me, too. I was always putting some "little" thing in my stomach in the hopes it would feel better, which it did not. lol I managed to lose 12 lbs, tho because some days nothing went down.

I had days (when my blood was low) when it was a massive chore to get up the stairs and put my clothes on. I would then lay down and rest before attempting to make the darn bed. My energy has sooo returned now and I'm sure gla.d

Two years ago, Medicare would pay for this method, so I chose this. I barely had enough body fat index, but that's ok, I got it.

I'm uncomfortable right now, but it'll get better and I am losing weight.
