That really looked like the ideal way to go.<BR/><BR/>Of the options that are available, it does look like the one you linked to is least evil of them. I'm glad that you're exploring them and giving them careful thought before committing to anything. <BR/><BR/>Whatever you decide to do, you've got folks that care about you and love you bunches, and we're here for you.Lorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14207128582473059400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18135695.post-67387970676056302122008-02-27T07:14:00.000-05:002008-02-27T07:14:00.000-05:00Just Me - Thanks, but this is a decision I have to...Just Me - Thanks, but this is a decision I have to make and a journey I have to embark on on my own.<BR/><BR/>Teresa Paulina - I'm with you, sister. Although they can do the bypass laparoscopically, the staples and actual physical alterations of the organs don't give me a warm fuzzy feeling. But I at least want to get the information and ask some questions.<BR/><BR/>Mou - After our conversation yesterday I wondered what you were talking about!<BR/><BR/>Thanks to all of you for you love and support!

That's not you. <BR/><BR/>I just can't say I think gastric bypass surgery beyond the LapBand is a bad idea. I think I'm pretty healthy, even though I'm a big guy. I eat well. I exercise. I'm not a smoker, a fried foods fellow, a drug-user, any of that. <BR/><BR/>I think you can be healthy AND not be a size 6. <BR/><BR/>Just my two cents, but whatever your decision is, I support you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18135695.post-50406903681742171932008-02-26T17:49:00.000-05:002008-02-26T17:49:00.000-05:00yeah...

There's come things you could try just to see and it won't interfere or interact with any of your medications you are on.<BR/><BR/>And I'll say it again and again. YOU are beautiful.
