I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.

JOY
* Our family is a circle of love and strength. With every birth and every union, the circle grows. Every joy shared adds more love. Every obstacle faced together makes the circle stronger. The love of a family is life's greatest blessing.
I have reached my goal!
I never heard of Martinsville but there there is a Martinsburg it is like 25 minutes away. It would be wonderful if I can get this together so she can attend.
I am sorry she had to go through all that. I hope she is doing good now.
Let me know where is she located.
How are you doing Joy?

I am new to the boards. I am Dottie, live in Procious, WV, in Clay county.
I have had my RNY surgery on January 5th, 09.
My beginning weight was 361, last year I lost 60 lbs. and since my surgery I have lost another 25 pounds.
Dr. Shin is my surgeon, and I have been very pleased with him. He has a really wonderful caring personality.
I have problems getting in all the liquids I need a day. Seems I am always so full. I need to find more sources for checking out what Protein products they have. I have heard of bullets, but where do you get them. I hear they do not taste very good either.
I am healing up pretty good, but still really sore.
Look forward to hearing from you.

My surgery has been very successfull so far. I am not going to lie that sometimes my head tells me that I want to snack on things and when I do my pouch says no way. That is the hardest part I think is the head hunger. If you completely get mentally ready for this surgery and change in lifestyle you can do it. I am excited for each new day and what it has to offer me.
Everyone keep up the good work and whatever stage you are in. I highly recommend you ask questions on here and research..research.

IS CHARLES TOWN VERY FAR FROM MARTINSVILLE? IF NOT, MY AUNT LIVES THERE. SHE HAD GASTRIC BYPASS SEVERAL YEARS AGO. SHE HAD A VERY ROUGH TIME DUE TO AN ALLERGIC REACTION TO ANESTHESIA.
ANYHOW, I AM SURE SHE NEEDS SUPPORT OCCASIONALLY.

Understanding happiness
Happiness is a state of mind, not a way of life or a destination that you'll reach one day. Bumps in the road of life are to be expected, and we cannot let them ruin our days. We often think that if a combination of factors would just fall into place THEN we would finally be happy. Satisfaction can only come from within, through truly accepting yourself, your life, and your cir****tances. During this life you'll have many hard days--long work days, sleepless nights, worrying about the future, etc. This week, think about the joys of your life. Find creative ways to enjoy the little bumps in the road.

I Spoke to my primary care physician and I researched my options for 2 years because making a decision. The best thing to do is ask your doctor like the others have suggested. But please make sure to research everything until you know exactly what are all the options. Find different surgeons go to their information sessions and have a consult. See what that surgeon suggest of what type of surgery is best for you.
I chose to have surgery to try and get rid off of my diabetes and of ofcourse losign the weight was a added bonus my bmi was 44.3. I am happy to report that my diabetes is resolved and I have lost a total of 105.5 since surgery.
Wishing you all the best in your journey.
Make sure to call your insurance and find out what surgeries they cover so you know what options you have.
