Tom,

See if your county has a program where you can pay for your meds on a basis of

your income. Mine are $3. Another place to check is the pharmaceutical

companies. There are several that now have programs to send the prescription

meds either free or at low cost if you meet their qualifications. I think you

and the doctor need to fill out the applications for that.

What do you eat that you can afford, Tom? Maybe there are healthier

food choices you can afford that you are not aware of. Maybe we can

help.

Ann,

I can understand your frustration. I hurt my back and gained almost 100 lbs in 3

years. I was down more than I was up and was living in my recliner. I had my RNY

a month ago and am already seeing results. I actually took the stairs by choice

today at work. Now it wasn't fast, and it wasn't pretty, but by God I took the

stairs I will keep my fingers crossed for you as you go through this. it is a

bit of a road, But I am already seeing the worth. Go for it, Lady !

[] Hi!

My name is Ann,

I just moved to Tulsa,Ok. with my boyfriend and 14 son and 15

daugther. My life has been a roller coaster, and now I am ready to get

rid of one of the coaster rides in my life and that is my wieght issues.

I have been overweight most of my life,went I started to have kids ,the

weight went up and didnt go down. I was pretty much in self denile on

how I really felt about my weight for a long time, tho I go thro the

poor me thing ,I just ignored it. My heavist was 310 which I tried as

many have all the diets that the supermarket tabloids and the book gurus

told me that would make my life good. Even done the weight watchers and

other type groups. But with limited success and with a tight budget,just

got put aside. About 4 yrs I took a fall that tore my right knee up

,that I couldnt even walk or stand on it for 8 mos, no sooner had I had

it out of the leg brace then I retore my knee again, another 10 mos be

inmoble and here I am . I dont know how heavy I really am, several

months ago I went to join Craig which I loved thier program ,they

didnt have a scale that could weight me, because of funds I only did a

week of eat but hope to restart it again as it will help with the meal

control part. At this point in my life I know I weight over 410 or so

,with so limit moblitly life is basically living from sitting on my bed

or to a comfy chair,before I had some moblitly because we had a house

but we have moved to my boyfriends fathers house and we have the living

room as our bedroom ,so this is now where I am stuck at. I can hardly

stand for a few mins at a time. I am looking into gastric bypass here in

Tulsa now, I was looking into it in Utah with a Dr. Halverson but for 2

yrs all I got was the runaround , I am hoping to find a quialfied doctor

here. I am hoping to make friends and learn from others what they have

learned from going thro this surgery and any tips or suggestions you all

have. My other interests are, gourmet cooking, making fairys ,jewelery

making,stained glass,Lampworking,polymor

clay,crocheting,knitting,scrapbooking,drawing,sewing,painting,breeding

and raising parrots( 10 pairs of birds)I have 3 ferrets,3 kitties, a

sunconure.

I guess I should end this long typed intro =) Thanks for letting me join

and hope to get to know everyone!

Ann,

Oh ok, I have never had a bird........I like cats and dogs so I never

thought a bird would be a good idea. I would hate to come home to a bird

that was eaten and think it was my fault......

I have a friend that has a grey........something, .............Grey is

the first part of the name. He says its like one of the smartest birds out

there, and that they live for like 50 years or something like that.......He

loves that bird......

Again, welcome to the group, you can post pics of yourself, and I would

love to see your piece of sunset.....

Sun Conures live anywhere from 25 to 30 yrs,

Well,I have a female cat and a blind kitten and a baby kitten, and they dont

bother my birds at all. They know they would get eatten by the birds! LOL

I also have a African Grey,( they can live up to 80 yrs,she will be going to on

of my kids!) which I think is what your friend must have? Grau has over 400 word

list from sounds to actual words and sentences! The kids have a dog ,I love dogs

but this one I am not crazy about. About 4 yrs ago I lost my love Chrissy,she

was a Short Haired German Spaniel,had saved her from the local SPCA in Utah when

she was 8 wks old ,she died at the ripe age of 26 yrs old! Broke my heart didnt

ever want another dog again, but now I am thinking about getting a puppy.
