Friend in Need

I have a new friend that I have met at work who had a RNY 2 years ago- lost over 200 pounds, she recently went through a nasty divorce and what appears to be a moderate level of depression during which she gained back about 30-40 pounds. She is now pulling herself out of this and trying to get back on track. Any sugesstions?

I think you should introduce her to this site and encourage her to use it. Much as you care about her, it sounds like only she can do what she needs to do to make her surgery work for her! Not that an occasional HUG wouldn't help!

I would definitely steer her over to the Grads list. There are HUNDREDS of super experienced post-ops there, who have pretty much been everywhere, done everything. They're a great group of people, and are always willing to help out! The link to join is: http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/Graduate-OSSG Hope that helps! Blessings, dina
