Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 Hey , First I want to say thank you from the bottom of my heart for your post. I was drowning and you put your arm out to save me. I have really missed talking to you. I guess I just don't want to seem too pushy. Second I want to say thank you for your note to Janet. She stuck her head out there for me and is willing to help and that takes a lot of courage, to be there for someone during a hard time in their lives. Any and all prayer would be greatly appreciated. With Love, Lara M. Akin (BMI 63) Trying to get my weight down to do the dance with Dr. Rutledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 Bob, Keep your head up man. Dr. Rutledge is a wonderful doctor who only wants you to be healthy and safe. You are not the only one that has gained while waiting approval. I did it too, then I panicked and realized I had to get this weight off if I wanted to live. The part about the mirror really hit home. If I have to look at myself in the mirror maybe the sheer disgust and horror would get me through to my goal. I hate looking at myself in the mirror, I would rather have a broken bone or have some teeth pulled. Anyway do not worry Let Go and Let God. He will provide you with the answers you seek. If you need anything just say so and I will be there With Love, Lara M. Akin (BMI 63) Trying to get my weight down to do the dance with Dr. Rutledge.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 , Do not worry about Dr. Rutledge and not accepting any patients. First of all he has not even set a date on that so you still have time to be included in the grandfather clause. I also want to say that I have experienced all the emotions you are during my process for the MGB. NEVER give up. The weight is the hardest part of this for me. I mean the insurance company and my patient letter were a breeze compared to the emotions of losing weight to live. All of us who need to lose weight should band together and form a circle of friends to be there for each other. I am available at all times. So I am here saying lets do this to keep our emotional rollercoaster ride as easy as possible. Please call me at home , pager , cellphone . With Love, Lara M.

Guest guest Posted August 7, 2000 Report Share Posted August 7, 2000 Rosemary, Thanks for the words of encouragement. I have been on every diet imaginable so I can identify with you. I have to give this to the Lord and pray and I have. But more prayers said will help me reach my goal. I am grateful for the people on this list that are willing to be there for me. Each and every one of you has been where I am, maybe not as heavy, but the emotions were the same. I never thought I would find a group of people that did not judge, but loved instead. From the bottom of my heart thank you. With Love, Lara M. Akin (BMI 63) Trying to get my weight down to do the dance with Dr. Rutledge.
