Guest guest Posted September 8, 2000 Report Share Posted September 8, 2000 Hello everyone! I'm looking for some advise/help. I have been researching WLS since April. To make a long story short... I will have to be a self- pay and as a last resort I asked my parents if I could borrow the money to have the MGB done. I talked to them tonight and they did not take it very well, honestly they didnt even know I was looking into surgery, so I am sure they were a little shocked. I got comments like... " Kel, you are NOT obese " (at 5'5 " and 250lbs... YES I am mom!!!) They think this is a very drastic step, granted they are willing to look into it and she says they will visit clos.net. My mom is blaming depression for my weight and my weight on depression (according to my neuro psych eval, I am not depressed). The one thing I'm depressed about is the way I look. It just didn't go the way I was hoping. But I guess it could have been worse, at least they are willing to look into it. Any suggestions/comments on how some of you may have handeled your family would be greatly appreciated!! Also, if need be.... would any of you be willing to email my mom? If so, please email me privately at kellylynn1@.... Thanks in advance!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
