Last week, the House again approved legislation to delay a series of federal regulations that would severely limit Medicaid coverage of rehabilitative, case management, and school-based services. The amendment to the supplemental war funding bill that included this delay on the regs passed by a vote of 256-166. Thanks to all of you who contacted your representative - you helped make a

Now that I have had time to reflect. I want to share my point of view on the 60 Minutes show. I still believe it was just another attempt to sell an elective surgery, a totally biased one-sided report.
Nothing was said about how your entire life is turned topsy turvy after the surgery. Did it tell how many people end up losing friends they have had for years? Did it show how many couples end up

Is there something you have always wanted to do, but keep putting it off for whatever reason? Are you so caught up in the day to day grind you’ve forgotten how to relax?
Bottom line, is real life kicking you in the a$$……

Nice to have some good news for a change. My follow-up EGD done last Friday was GREAT!! Following the soft bland diet and the new meds made a world of difference. My stoma ulcer is completely healed as well as the fistula. This means no revision surgery. Yippee damn skippy!!!
You just don’t realize how happy that made me.
Another plus is now I can eat some decent food.
By decent food I mean

For years after my WLS I actively participated in the online support forums. They were my home away from, so to speak. These past months many changes have occurred in my life that have me wondering exactly where do I go from here. I no longer feel a connection with the WLS community as a whole. Some believe it is only because of the problems that I have been having lately that have colored my

More and more people are opting for the lapband procedure for WLS. Most believe it will eliminate the nutritional complications associated with the malabsorption procedures like RNY. They are also under the mistaken assumption that there are fewer complications with this procedure.
Junkfood Science shows us the dark side of this popular procedure.

I moderate the comments on this blog to keep out spam. I’m not here to censor others comments. I recently had a comment that honestly I did not want to publish. It pissed me off and made me sad all at the same time. I’ve been trying to figure out how to respond. Here is the comment. My responses in red.

I have been following the news of the death of Polly Williams. Polly was one of the four women featured in Lauren Greenfield’s Emmy-nominated documentary Thin. The film documents the experiences of young women at the Renfrew Center, a residential facility for the treatment of eating disorders.
Here’s an update on Polly’s death:
There has been much speculation on how Polly died, with many people

I’ve done several posts in the past about the need for many supplements after WLS. In each one I have stated multiple times you need to be proactive in your own health care. Do not take it when the doctor tells you your “labs” are fine. Know what it is they are checking and the values. Ask for copies.

First let me thank my online friends for their support and concern. I appreciate all of your support and encouragement.
With all this junk going on with me, I did what I normally do….research.
Do you know how really difficult it is to find long term research on WLS? It doesn’t exist. Most I could find was for 5 years tops.
