Can you work out?  Try not to be digusted...hunger is apart of our lives...our disease isn't like alcohol or drug abuse...if you can get to a support group and try exercising.  I'm so sorry.  Try to be on your own side!

Hello .......I've been a member of OH for over a year. Started out researching and preparing for RNY then learned about DS but told by DR. Roslyn (a NY DS surgeon) that I am not a good candidate for the DS .  Kind of gave up and had other health issues and I am now trying to get myself back physically enough to pursue the VSG.   I had made an appointment with DR, Roslyn as he now has a MT Kisco, NY office, however, I have since learned that Yale and St. Raphael also do VSG. I would like to hear from anyone that has had the vsg at either hospital and get some feedback on the hospital and the surgeons you had do the procedure on you.

I am also a member of sparkpeople.com which is a great site that has many videos and articles on weight loss , exercises and related issues.  I have found the short videos to be helpful because they are short and easy.

You can post here or private email ....what ever your comfortable with.  I'd also be interested in any insurance information . I have national elevator industry which is through blue cross/blue shield. 

Thanks again in advance. I am hoping this journey will take me to having the surgery and becoming healthier and gaining my life back.

I too have gained some weight back after having had WLS. 

The anger I feel towarfs myself for having misused my new "tool" is not helping me. 

I know that I need to get back to basics: weihing and measurin, protein first, 30 chews with each bite, small utensils and plates.

And remembering that for me, food is not the solution to anything. 

Please feel free to email me.

All the best :)
