I love love love your definition of insanity! I will have to steal that one!

I wan to keep this one - LuvCowboys. I don't even remember the other one.

Is it okay if I ask how much the surgery costs? I am going to have to pay out of pocket because my ppo insurance does not cover any bariatric surgery. If you could how much was the sugery and the fills and appts.. Thank you

Denise he would have to sign his assessts over to you or another sibling. After that he should be able to go for his Veterans Benefits. He should be able to get his Social Security now and as long as he has enough quarters. You would have to go to Social Security and talk about signing him up for Social Security. They probably take it for his care at the assisted living. I think it has to be 40 qiarters which I am sure he has that. In California they have about 4 Veterans Homes. The main one in Yountville California where I used to work at.If he is at the Veterans Home it would be based on his income. If you ever get a chance you should visit it. It would probably be ideal. Also if your mom is still alive she can go in with him. They have a married quarters. You take care.

Are you back from Arizona yet?? I had my 1st fill on Monday..Dr T had a tough time finding my port..kinda felt like a pin cushion!! I wasn't too painful though, just uncomfortable...I don't really have any restriction yet, so I am hoping to go back soon for more fill!!! Hope you are having a great time!!!

Hi Denise,

No candy here! Just sugar-free jello and such as that!

Of course I wouldn't mind answering your question although I don't know how accurate I can be with only email type contact, so I will just take a common sense approach.

Anybody can find another person to love and be loved by, but the key to that is loving yourself first. Maybe the weight has given you a poor self image and you feel that you cannot be loved and that nobody will find you attractive. Nothing could be further from the truth! Work on loving yourself and somebody will come along when you least expect it!

I would like to say this though. "Attractive" is one thing to one person and another to someone else. To me attractive used to be physically beautiful. Now it is kindness, a nice smile, someone who gives freely of herself, someone who shows me love in ways like doing the dishes when I am tired or taking care of something I don't particularily enjoy doing. You don't have to have a gorgeous "shell" to be beautiful.

I hope this helps! You are welcome to talk to me anytime you want!

Yes I live in coos bay and I was banded by Dr. T.

Were you a self pay? My freind said with insurance you have to go to the hospital....

Did you have your surgery at North Bend Medical center in North Bend ORegon?
