Topic: RE: researching options - what do you think?
I am sure most will tell you the same thing. We are here for the same reason you are coming here. We couldn't do it on our own for many reasons. After a lifetime of putting weight on and taking it off over and over I chose a way to stop the yoyo. You are the only one that can decide what is best for you. I can't say it's true for all "failures" , but most of them were probably due to the person , not the doc or the surgery itself. Surgery is a tool not a fix all crutch. If you are willing to change you have a 99.9% chance you will succeed. If you are not willing to change then don't put yourself through it. Just my 2 cents worth. I wish you the best either way you decide to go.
No longer about weight , it's all about living.
Topic: researching options - what do you think?
I just started researching WLS options. I have 100 - 125 # to lose and the only co-morbidity i have is high cholesterol, big BMI and lots of aches and pains. After reading quite of few posts on this site I wonder if it would be wise to start with the therapy route first?
There is a 12 week weight loss mgmt program at a local university hospital that will evaluate you and present options of WLS vs. doing it yourself.
Maybe I am starting to waiver due to reading a few too many failure posts??? I'm not sure if this is a normal thought process??? Any of you who have been through the surgery ever feel this way???
Thanks!

Topic: RE: anyone interested in buying a Kings Island season pass?
I think we're going to work on a planned day at the park! Personally I would love to do it in September when the weather is absolutely gorgeous... but then again I plan to go a lot this summer, so any time is fine with me.
