Re: I'm sorry everyone

[Guest guest]

Dani, this may be a hidden favor for you right now. It is not a good

idea to have a major surgery when you are in what sounds like

uncontrolled depression. It is better to have surgery, whichever one

you eventually choose, later when your mood is more stable. The

surgery itself can trigger depression in the post-op period so you can

imagine how bad it could get if that were to happen in an individual

who is already depressed and not controlled by meds.

Use your coping techniques, listen to your docs and and take their

advice and take care of yourself first before you worry about further

surgery, okay? Remember, obesity just increases your risk factors, it

isn't going to kill you overnight!

I'm sorry that I've kinda been keeping pretty much to myself lately.

There are an extreme amount of things that are going on. My

depression is in the worst stages as it's ever been. They are on the

verge of putting me in a program. As for the DS, I want to do it

really bad. I really do. I wish I'd NEVER have done RNY at all, and

now they want to do a revision??? I don't think. I need to do this

bad. I feel like I'm losing life. Going back to being fat (Not to be

offensive to anyone, I love you all here)it's killing me, both

mentally and physically. I would love to do the DS as my revision,

but I don't think that I'll be able to afford it. Plus there would

be no one at all to help me after wards. No matter how much I

exercise or anything I'm not losing anymore weight. I've gained

almost all the way back up to my Pre-RNY. I'm at almost 125 pounds

the last time I weighed and I start at 243 Pre-op. I've been

extremely depressed and cry almost daily because of it. It all

happened and it wasn't even my fault. I had to start eating the

special diet for my Chronic Bladder Disease and it was completely

the opposite of my GB diet. I would love to do the DS but I'm afraid

that I'm not gonna be able to afford it. I have no friends anymore

(for the most part outside of myspace and you guys). I have no

clothes anymore because of my weight. I also found out the other day

when I went back to Sansum that I have a severe Gastric Ulcer and

moderate Hemmroids.I need this surgery and I just don't know. I'm

sorry that I was bitching guys, that wasn't my intention I just am

hoping that maybe someone can help me or give me some guidance. I'm

sorry if I've ever offended any of you here. I consider you my good

friends and not only that but all that I have. If you can find any

answer to all of this, please contact me. If you'd just like to

talk, feel free to contact me anytime. I've also got Yahoo Messenger

if you'd like to reach me there Rdhdblueydcwgl02@...

appreciate you taking the time to read and hopefully you can lead me

in the right direction. Also, do any of you know how to get a

medical card and stuff for Tulare County? If you know something, get

back to me and you can talk to me in more detail.

Thank you all very much,

Dani

________________________________

Add to that the links I sent there are a world of resources out there if

your income is basically low enough and your not just wasting money. I have a

sister who constantly complains that she has no money and her income is too high

for assistance but she wastes too much money on cigarettes, eating out,

video games, ect and I have no pity for her. If someone is truly in need there

are resources available. There is no reason for anyone to do without. I'm not

sure what the red cross is like out there but they will buy meds here if you

don't have the money. Almost no questions asked. I have referred numerous pts

there through home health. Also our United way(do you have it out there?) has

first call for help. They offer lots of medical help. They assist those

truly in need with medical and dental.

NEVER Assume that if your gaining weight that your absorbing adequately.

I was a failed rny who was 377 lbs. I had a extremely high PTH level and had

a spinal fractures. I deal daily with the damage that it did to my back. I

lie with chronic pain. Take your supplements and assume that your malabsorbing

calcium. Take multivitamins. If you don't you might end up in worse shape

than your in now. As far as the RNY there are simple rules that you can go by

to try and lose weight easier. There are rules. If you wish I will find them

and send them to you.

Dani,

Unfortunately you are living in what I believe is the second poorest

county in California. I used to work for Family Healthcare Network.

They have clinics all over the county and they are Federally funded to

provide care to people who have no insurance. Prices are based on

income. The docs there also have a very supportive environment to

provide free medications from the pharmaceutical companies. That

particular service is very well organized in their clinics.

However, I am sure you know of them since you live in that county. If

not, this information may help you. If your income is so very low,

there is a good chance you would qualify for MediCal, also, and thus

your basic health needs would be met.

Being a post-op weight loss surgery patient, it is essential that you

do not neglect your health, your nutritional supplements. Make it a

priority now or you will regret it later. Regain, although unpleasant,

is not the worst thing that could happen to you.
