Not much idea about coolsculpting but I have heard it helps to eliminate stubborn fat.

Hi. I'm thinking about going there. Do you recommend it?  I'm 6 months post pregnancy and need to lose weight badly.

Topic: RE: Had and failed 2 weight loss surgeries...
You sound just like me, I am about 4-5 months away from having VSG and the more stories I read the more I wonder if this is what I want. Good Luck. I have a friend who did lo carb and as of the last time I had seen her she was down 88 lbs and she started at 280 or so, she has held this for well over a year . We will be on lo carb after surgery so I don't know what to do but I still have a while .

Nicole,

 

I think I needed to read that. Thank you. I had RNY 7/25/06.. And gained 80 lbs from my lowest. I recently acquired better insurance and was thinking of a revision to Duodenal Switch. Now I think I need to re-think and work harder to lose weight. Ultimately it's only been a tool.. One that I misused

Hello  

The only inpatient program I am aware of is Brookhaven.  Not sure if you can travel out of state or not.  Click the link to the website and see if they accept your insurance.

Keep us posted on how you are doing!

Topic: Seeking Inpatient Obesity Treatment Center Who Will Except United Health Care, Help Please!

Im in search of any recommendations for an inpatient weight loss treatment center either residential or Hospital I live in the Quad Cities Iowa and I need to find a place that will take United Healthcare for insurance. Iof the various doctors in my area that will perform gastric bypass I am at this time solely focused on finding an inpatient weight loss program in a residential or hospital setting. I do not want a half-day program that would require me staying at my house I want a program that would get me out of my house for several weeks for the treatment.  has anyone else ever been to a inpatient weight loss treatment center? can you recommend one? do you have one that you do not recommend? I am needing some help please make suggestions please I need nonsurgical based solutions, no diet pills either! I specifically need info on an inpatient obesity treatment center/weight loss program that is equipped to deal with someone several hundred lbs over weight as I'm 454 (ie they would need to have chairs wide enough to hold me, trainers that would expect me to run as fast as someone 1/3 my size). Help.

Topic: RE: Hello and starting to actually think about my future and losing weight...with no surgery

Hi Amber,

First of all, I want to congratulate you for doing something about this at age 24. I have been overweight since age 4 and morbidly obese since I was 18, and now at age 37, I really wish I had done something about it a lot sooner, as now my health is really beginning to deteriorate. (Well it was before I started this new journey two weeks ago - Optifast for me, now I am on a better journey) Not that I haven't tried in the past, but most attempts have been half-a$$ed at best. My journey was a lot like yours, I went to Grad School, found it extremely stressful and was also working crazy hours. When you are so highly stressed out like that, it's hard not to use something to comfort yourself. I think that taking a little time out for yourself each night to "pamper" can really help if you can squeeze it in. I used to love going to the gym or swimming in the evening and then sitting in the sauna, or doing a facial or something when I got home to really feel like I was pampering myself.  After going to the gym, and then doing something like that to really take care of myself, it always felt counterproductive to then start stuffing myself (which sometimes I still did, but not as often). Then I would get some work done, whatever needed to be done but looked forward to snuggling in with a good book and a cup of tea, 15 minutes before Bed. Knowing that I had those things to look forward to (instead of food) did help me out a lot in the past.  I have had many other setbacks over the past few years, but remembering to take time for ourselves for something good for us and that makes us feel good about ourselves I think can really help. YOU CAN DO IT!!!! :D
