[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 158814, member: 84"] Oh, Janet! I'm so sorry. You know, the medicaid/medicare "overhaul" only made everything more of a major PITA. grrrrrr On the other hand, gastric bipass is not a fun procedure, even after the healing process is done. My phlebotomy instructor had the procedure, and while it worked for her without complications.......... She has no choice but to eat tiny "meals" (I swear no more than a couple of bites) every 2 hrs on the nose, or pass out on the floor from low blood sugar, and drink non stop water all day to keep hydrated. Nor could you imagine the handfulls of vitamens and supplements she has to take because her body no longer absorbs enough. Think all of that is bad??? Then the poor woman has a never ending case of diarrhea. Yes, she lost 120 lbs in a year. She looks amazing. But just thinking about all that and if I ever faced the need.......I honestly don't think I'd opt that way. I think the price is too high. There has got to be a better way. ((hugs)) [/QUOTE]
