Guest guest Posted July 9, 2000 Report Share Posted July 9, 2000 Hi this is Margie from San Obispo Ca. I am getting closer to my goal of having the mgb and I have been lurking for months doing research but now I feel the need to join in the discussion. Since there are other Margie's I will go by slo-margie because they call my city slo town. I posted once with a word wrap on and the message just kept going off the screen, so slo also might mean slo witted LOL. I want to thank you for expressing your thoughts and feeling about being angry about the loss of food as a comfort. It is something I know I will have a problem with, because I have had it before. I experienced it big time when I went on a program like optifast for 5 months, not eating solid food for 5 months made me feel so deprived, I often just cried. I have given that full consideration in my decision and know it will be worth it to lose the weight for good. Being 53 years old and a diabetic who takes insulin shots twice a day, and being 5'2 " and weighing 285 pounds it was a no brainer that this was the best thing for me, but I have given it enough time to prepare myself mentally and emotionaly and you have helped.Everyone who posts here has helped. I am awaiting insurance approval from blue shield of ca. I am getting my packet ready and trying to get contacts, and I write down the email address of people who say they don't mind being a contact because I have read that some postop's are inundated with emails and I hate to bother people. Best wishes to all! Margie Sumlin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
