Thank you all for your kind words. Does anyone know about sexual abuse? I am so lost. Have lost 13 pounds due to this incident.
Topic: RE: Hello-New member
Not lab banding but we had Gastric Bypass (me in 10/05 and her in 12/05) at Ruby. We think that the program at WVU is absolutely top drawer. We came through with flying colors and are doing incredibly well.
We cannot say enough about Dr. McNatt and Mary Anne Yanosik. They have been tremendously professional and supportive throughout the entire process.

Topic: RE: saggy skin
Hi Susan:
I understand your concern. My wife and I both had the surgery in Morgantown (me in 10/05 and her in 12/05. Sagging yet has not been an issue for either one of us, but she is worrying about it. We have both done very well. I am at -88 pounds and is at -69 pounds.
Mary is a worrier and always has been. I suspect that your husband will love you and respect you no matter what. We are so happy that we have done this and life just gets better with every day.
I recommend that you save your worries and concerns for things that really matter. Worrying about things over which is have no control is what I call mental masturbation.

Topic: A legislative bill to help those of us with medicaid and medicare and do not have diabetes??
I have contacted the senators and legislators and am working to get a bill put to the floor and for voting to get a rider or the rules changed for those of us without diabetes and other life threatening co-morbities to allow us to have the same chance as everyone else to get the surgery and use it as a tool to change the rest of our lives. IF anyone out there is on medicaid and would be willing to write a letter in support and sign a petition please email me or leave a comment.
Thanks a bunch.

Byesville, OH - RNY (05/06/2005) - Dean J. Mikami, M.D.
I have a neighbor lady who is just my age and is fast approaching around 600 pounds. She recently lost her funding for home health care and housekeeping and can no longer do these things for herself. She has asked me to help her with grocery shopping and laundry. Last night I went to the laundramat for her and I was almost in tears as I folded her clothes and those of her mentally retarded brother she cares for. They were stained and tattered. I felt so badly for her. I noticed that her clothes are a size 6x and he wears size 56 jeans and 3 x mens tops. IF anyone would happen to have access or have decent clothes in any of these sizes I would be so greatful. I want to help this family out in any way I can. I feel so badly for this young lady that she is going to die an early death and wls could save her life. I just dont know how to approach the subject with her, or even if it is my place to do so. I just love and care about her and would love to see her have a better quality of life. She is completely housebound now at 44 years of age.
Any ideas how I can help her and her brother, without being a nosy busybody...
HELP..
Love and Hugs,
Laura
