It was great to read your profile and see your progress. I am scheduled for my surg in April and quite excited and nervous at the same time. Getting to hear your story as you go is great. What an inspiration. Hope is well with your wife. Jamie

Dont allow people to stress you into stress eating. I am aware you are in a stressful situation at the moment. But be cautious your stomach is a muscle and can stretch. My nutritionist told me there is a 50% chance of being the same wt in 5yrs. If you feel stressed and want to eat, remove yourself from the situation.Unfortunately I havent had my surg yet, my date is Dec 19,2002 Best of Luck, Tamara

My impression of behavior modification is that you are taking steps to learn what triggers your eating (if you are a binge eater etc) and how you can retrain yourself to deal with those situations in an alternate manner. It is not negative reinforcement, rather positive enforcement for more desired behaviors. My motivation for finding a program like that is so that I do not revert back to my poor behaviors.

Bob, I believe that I need to really go to the root of what has caused the weight gain. If this is not what would work for you, then I can respect that, but I personally do not want to be 10 years post-op and gain the weight back...Do you know that people do stretch the pouch out so far that the procedure is all but reversed? I figure that if I got to this point once, I can do it again if I don't figure out how to correct the behaviors that got me here in teh first place. Good luck to you!

Thank you Bob for answering my question regarding dealing with family's negative response to surgery. I will work on getting someone locally that is post op to talk with my family.

Thanks Bob!!!!! You are right, we need more guys here on this site. But many men are not as outgoing as the special ladies here at AMOS!! There are a few exceptions, like Andrew Richardson. That guy make me laugh so hard that I think I will open my scar!!!!! You go Andrew, 3 women at the same time!!!!!! You ARE asking for trouble!!! We also need a COUPLES CLUB here on AMOS. Wouldn't that be fun!!!! This is "OLD RODEO PANTS" saying: HAPPY TRAILS TO YOU!!!!!!!!!
