Make sure you understand why before doing trying this at home! I think aside from the 'presure' they also can cause ulcers.

I bet that one additional statistic comes from the latter. I think sometimes it takes a lot of extra attention and communication to reassure the second type without it I would like the relationship is doomed!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 I have read a lot of profiles of people having WLS that had young children that indicte before surgery they wrote letters to their children (just in case) - has anyone done this? I would have no idea where to start and would be terrified of doing so. I guess you just write from the heart - just thinking about it I am crying!!!

Guest guest Posted May 1, 2000 Report Share Posted May 1, 2000 , You should have a plan for your children! I have a letter to each of my children not only about how much I love them and who I want them to live with if something where to happen to both of their parents but also standards and goals I expect them to strive towards, and answers to problems we all endure throughout life. I also have a family history for them to keep, And instructions on life insurance, college funds.etc...And of course our burial wishes (for an adult). This might sound excessive, but if you have ever a friend or family member that has past on with no instructions for their children or their burial it is devastating, on top of the morning. IM kinda of strange anyway.lol I write a letter to my son in the back of his year book every year, I include all his achievements and happenings that someday he will want to remember. sorry for RAMBLING sorry Trisha Lanman praying Dr. R. will help me to the other side soon!

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Hi, I haven't posted for awhile. I'm 2 & 1/2 wks. out from my 2nd abdominal surgery in a month. Hope that's it for awhile. The Obesity.com magazine is wonderful! I do not regret ordering it. I'm wondering.... have many of you had a body lift? If so, were you pleased & any good surgeon recommendations in the western NC or SC area? Any advice on this? How much loose skin was removed? How long to heal? Any known good web sites on it? Would appreciate input. Yes, I've briefly skimmed through E-mails as I deleted E-mail for space & I was saddened to see more " written spats " & I wondered why we can't all try to be understanding of each other & our differences.... we've all suffered with obesity- or most of us have. We all have our ghosts & we all try to deal with our " " demons " as the comfort of overeating is taken away. Again, I wish us all the best & much growth! (but not pounds wise!)

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 I am new here and I hope I don't offend you by asking this question because that is not my intention. Why did you have to do 2 surgeries? Were they complications? I am still in the learning phase and am trying to decide on having the surgery. If it is to personal, I understand. Thanks Angie Re: Digest Number 1200 Hi, I haven't posted for awhile. I'm 2 & 1/2 wks. out from my 2nd abdominal surgery in a month. Hope that's it for awhile. The Obesity.com magazine is wonderful!
