Welcome to Northern VA ... Unfortunately April there is very little support here.  Feel free to PM me if you have any additional questions.   Take care


NOW 78 VIEWS TO THIS REQUEST,  SHAME ON YOU ....  The success of WL Patients is EVERYONE SUPPORTING EACH OTHER..... START SHARING !!  That is why us oldster rarely come in here  We have started our own private support group..  

Lauren it's OK we all make these dumb moves from time to time the first step is admitting we have the issue's, and  making the break. Like already said if you did eat them it isn't a crime put it behind you and move forward  chalk it up as a  gift to yourself for the year and forget it and  focus on not making the mistake again. That is why I stress the importance of the support group so much. It is so important to get together once a month or a few times to be with those of us who go threw this on a daily base. Just because we have lost the weight had plastics to those who have had and are maintaining we deal with issues like this everyday. As well as now the holidays and daily stress. The meetings are SO SO important to relieve the stress of talking to those who go through what we ALL do and getting suggestions getting it off our chests and helping one another so please don't be afraid to reach out to any of us here or FB we are all here what ever the issues is. Don't beat yourself up sending  lots of hugs.....

I'd also not assume that she needs the gastric band.  She needs to research all 4 options and seek the advice of a surgeon who peforms all 4 options to ensure she makes the most well educated choice for herself.

Is she able to qualify for medicaid or medicare?  (I can never keep the 2 straight in my head.)

Hello My name is Velencia Bullock

If their is anyone in the tri city area interestd in WLS, their is a new clinic in Peterssburg Va 23805...Southside Metabolic and Bariatric Center. It is headed by a surgeon name Dr. Tejwant Datta, who worked @ John Hopkins Hospital with excellent credentials.

I know I pop in and off the boards because it definately isn't as active as it used to be, but thought I would come back to my beloved "home base" for a bit of support and suggestions.

I'm struggling with a very stressful string of events.  The last several months, things have been building.  I've tried to really focus on staying on track.  I eat well and try to eat regularly.  I admit, I've made some bad food choices but realization is the key to correction, so I adjust myself.

Well last night I had another one of the dreaded peanut butter cup nights.  I posted this way back when, when I had a falter.

At 1048pm I actually went out and purchased a package of peanut butter cups.  I just can't believe I got dressed out of my jammies, got in the car, drove to CVS and did this.

I got home, placed the cups on my dresser and just stared at them.  And there they sit this morning.  Now, I guess I should be proud of myself and I am ATTEMPTING to do the same thing as last time and throw them out.  I still adhere to the strict no sugar rule.

I'm dissapointed in myself.
