That is why I was so upset. I have struggled for 25 out of my 28 years with my weight. My poor body cannot take much more. I am not trying to sound harsh or hurt your feelings but I just want you to understand what this means to me. >> Dear Lara ~ My heart goes out to you in your struggle, my friend. What a horrible turn of events. It's certainly easy to see WHY you would be so upset and disappointed. You've worked so hard and it seems like yet another stumbling block has been placed in your path. I feel sure that Flo was simply trying to give you some practical advice when perhaps you just needed someone to say, " I understand! " Take heart and find comfort in all the prayers that are coming your way from all the people who care about you. It's obvious you are very determined to make this surgery happen. Don't let this setback keep you from pressing on!!!!!!! Stay strong, keep the faith and know that we are ALL supporting you 100% in this battle to save your life!!!!!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 What a wonderful message to receive after a poop of a day. Thanks for your kind and caring words. I know I will make it through this. I just do not know what my weight should be. He E-mailed me back twice today within 10 minutes of each e-mail until the last one no response. I mean I showed him a side that I rarely show people. I begged him to e-mail me back because I needed to be calmed down, and to my dismay he did not. All I can do is continue getting my packet ready and send it in and let them know my weight when I send it in and go from there. Everyone on this list has been fabulous. I hope I can be as wonderful to those that need me too. I love each and every one of you and Flo and I have made up. I truly have never found so much love and support from one group. I am humbly honored to be a part of this group. {{{{{{{{{BIG HUGS}}}}}}}}} Lara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 Dear Dee, I read your last message to the lady who was disapointed that her surgery was delayed until Dr R's return. I am in the same boat. However I need a few more contacts and would like you to be one of them if you would. Just some of the juicy details like how your surgery went and how you are handling your foods your sweet tooth and how you are feeling in general??? Thanks for your time.

Just keep in mind, there are ups and downs, times of panic, and there are those moments that you can't get that silly grin off your face. Things will work out!!! My family doctor really believes any surgery is all how you go into it, so keep it in your mind, This IS what I WANT!! This IS what I'll Get!! Get that packet done, and get it sent in, that will make you feel 80% better!! Good Luck with everything!! Tonni 4/10/00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2000 Report Share Posted May 26, 2000 Dear Lara, I hear your desperation and I feel terrible for you as does everyone. We are are all in this together. I don't know why Dr R has his weight guidelines as he does but we have to believe its for our own saftey. Perhaps if you spoke to him personally he would reconsider. I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting him so I can't say. Flo 's answer to you was not wrong. I know that if we did have more control in our lives we would have started dieting yesterday. There are other doctors and other options so don't think your life is over. I have done a fair amount of research and I do feel that Dr R is the best around. His procedure is the least invasive and his results are the greatest. However, there are Dr's who perform the openRNY or do other procedures that could work for you as well. Try to start eating healthier today so atleast the fear of death would take a back seat. Make believe you have already had the surgery and start eating 1/2 the amount. That's what Iam trying to do as I wait for the opportunity to have my chance. My weight is in the ok range but my desperation is as bad as yours. Begin your paper work and start the proccess which takes alot of time anyway and try to get into the safe weight zone, It maybe that it will all come together at the right time. I wish you good health and my best wishes. Have tunnel vision and it WILL happen for you ..............
