She's a woman in her fifties, taking 120 units of insulin a day, who weighed 335 pounds when she went in for her surgery. Her diabetes physician had wanted a gastric bypass because he didn't think she would live the year without one. Her surgeon refused to perform the bypass because he didn't think she'd survive the surgery itself - he was willing to do the lap band though. Eventually, that option won out and she lost 40 pounds the first month. It's two years later, and she is now 125. She was incredibly high risk. I think you'll find the series of clips interesting. The first one at the bottom of the page is the longest but that's where she talks about her health when she went in. <BR/><BR/>Good blog. Good luck with everything. I hope you and yours find good health! :)<BR/><BR/>http://www.lovemylapband.netlorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03551722355620015846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19489700.post-9974616975762672342008-03-28T07:17:00.000-04:002008-03-28T07:17:00.000-04:00Cassie, I had no idea you were in such pain.I just...Cassie, I had no idea you were in such pain.<BR/>I just hope everything turns out for the best for you both.<BR/>*Hugs*, Jane :)janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09078268933443516223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19489700.post-60290485691428714672008-03-27T20:06:00.000-04:002008-03-27T20:06:00.000-04:00I think generally when a person touches the figure...I think generally when a person touches the figure "4", things like this will happen. I hope both of you have some health insurance to cover for that.<BR/><BR/>My Dad has no diabetic problems in his family tree but somehow he ended up a diabetic. My Mum has a long history of heart problems in her family tree. That's the reason I'm monitoring my health very closely through regular blood screening.<BR/><BR/>I guessed it all lies in what we put into our mouths.. hehe. All the best in getting your surgeries done :)CRIZ LAIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14236091977189115069noreply@blogger.com
