Hi all,

I got the chance to watch 48 hours last night, I thought it was kinda

positive myself. I saw myself on there, the 19 year old weighing in over

500 lbs. I mean I could actually relate to how she felt. It's not amazing

to me that most of the people who are unsupportive of WLS, have no weight

problems at all. But look at us, I mean we are more energetic, no more

MEDS, no HPB, no sleep apnea, no joint pain....NO DIABETES....What is wrong

with the medical profession, JUST LOOK AT US! I am 8 months post op...I

feel great. I was a size 28 (squeezing in it) and now I'm a size 20... Shoe

size went from a 8 1/2 to a 7 1/2, no more swollen ankles...I can run and

play with my sons. SIT ON THE FLOOR. Even JOG....

8 months ago, I was depressed, hurt all of the time, had no energy. I would

just go to work, eat, go home, eat, sleep,and did I say eat. That's no life

for any of us. Those of you who has decided to have this surgery CONGRATS!

and those in limbo JUST READ MY POST OVER AND OVER UNTIL YOU GET IT!

OH yeah - I didn't like that one " therapist " response to the surgery either.

Heck she was sitting on a table. How many of us can lift ourselves to sit on

a table. I say we give those people that are in " denial " a couple of 100 lbs

backpacks and let them carry it around all day just so they will know what

we go through.... Ok, I'm stopping now, sorry I get FUMED.

So... anyone watch 48 Hours last night? Actually I thought the program was

quite positive towards the surgery except for the one skinny minny who said

she felt no one should have the surgery because it was like putting

themselves in a prison with their choice and she had seen so many who

developed an eating disorder. Oh duh... doesn't she realize we are in

prisona but solitary confinement in our fat bodies and we have a medical

disorder as is?

Oh well... she can just go on the list with all the other misinformed

people.

All in all, the program just made me more excited to have the surgery.

Hi Ann,

When did you submit your patient info and how long before you heard that they

recieved it?

: you bet I saw it .I've only made 4 tapes of it for people so far.I really

think Dr.R has that technique beat by a mile. What do you think was the final

push for me to get this started? I got a message from Debbie saying that they

had recieved the Patient Info. form. I guess that means I'm IN the system now. I

have eveything except my Lab.work and pysh. evaluation done.I'm waiting to hear

if I'm approved before I spend that money.I have them scheduled just in case. I

hope it won't be long now. Ann in Oklahoma
