Guest guest Posted April 23, 2001 Report Share Posted April 23, 2001 Hello everyone my name is Regina. I first wanted to let everyone know how much I have enjoyed reading all the posts and have found them useful. I have a couple of questions to ask. First I have a problem with not feeling satisfied or full until I have eaten allot of food. I was wondering how people who are 1 year out or more are doig with there food intake and if you feel satisfied and full with a smaller amount of food. The other question is what have you done about the emotional effects of this surgery. I for one like to eat bread allot and I see that you have to eat basically allot of protein. So I am not to sure how this would effect me emotionally. How have all of you dealt with this. Thank you an advance to any answers you give me.

Your bmi is over 40, thus you are MORBIDLY obese. I just don't understand these insurance companies. sigh. Roussy had some links on saiety and the studies that have been done -- Hey, (or anyone else who has the links) can you post them again? I doubt that sending them to the insurance company is going to really change their minds but perhaps your therapists' eyes will open a little wider?
