Well im not over 600 yet and im hoping to get surgery before that happens. but im a little over 500 and its so hard to do anything.
I started at 426lbs. I looked at your profile and I really hope you do well on your WLS journey. Living life to the fullest is so important. For years I was bound by my physical self and my addiction to food. I found surgery to be incredibly liberating. I will send you postive thoughts and prayers. Good luck on your journey!

Hi Lisabelle,
What WLS are you interested in? May I recommend you come over to the DS board http://www.obesityhelp.com/forums/ds/ you can introduce yourself. There's a lot of great people over there
I personally weigh 510 and looking into having the Duodenal Switch (DS). You also can write me a message if you would like.

My name is Bobbi Jo and I live in the state of Maine. I am not in NC but I did go through the same experience here at my local hospital. When I started the program the highest BMI they would do is a 80 and they made me go through the whole program up til meeting with a surgeon and then they told me I was too heavy for surgery and that I would need to lose near to 100lbs before I could move forward, so I can sympathize with you completely. I did give up after feeling like the rug had been pulled out from underneath me. Now almost 2 years later I just started with a new psychiatrist and she mentioned there are other hospitals in my state who do surgery on people with higher BMI's , well I went online and there are only about 1 1/2 hours away from me. I would have to lose 21 lbs to get under 500 lbs but I can do that I think. I wouldn't give up if I was you. Just keep doing research online and here to see if someone can help you. I almost guarentee there are other doctors who will do your surgery. Don't give up or stop asking questions until you get results. Good Luck to you. Bobbi Jo
