See my reply to other post on this subject. 

I''m in pain and tired and need to sign off for the night, but wanted to respond to a fellow FM patient.

Yes, I someday will become and advocate for FM patients and focus on those who are obsese from the medications and lack of excercise. 

So many medical professionals do not understand it.  Yes, the surgery will cause pain, but it will help lesson the pain eventually of our other illnesses like osteoarthritis.  We will be able to walk a little more or go back to water core class to feel a little better.   My son is so busy right now but he is going to help me fight this.  The bariatric center should pay for this preop testing.  Most of it is only good for 30 days.  That time has past as of today 

They think we haven't done anything to help our pain and that we ccomfort our pain with food.
They are ignorant on this subject and we must do more to educate them.  Food does NOT comfort our pain.  I don't use food to comfort my pain or anything else.  I am still heavy and can't loose weight because of all the inclusive illnesses causing lack of excercise and all the side effects of the medications I am on. 

I have come along way with cutting down on meds and managing my pain.  I have seen about 4 pain therapist in the past 3 years plus group therapy.  I have learned the techniques.  Yes, hot stone massage and whirlpool help, but who can afford it.

Ihave to go.  Let's chat later.

Thanks for support
