And when I was doing research for the gastric bypass, they got nothing but excellent ratings. So, I'm pretty much set on doing the procedure at Lahey. (Assuming my insurance covers it, of course.) Especially since it seems like my surgeon doesn't want to risk it. <br /><br />It's always a good idea to keep losing weight, David. Ideally, whatever diet they put me on will be something that can be sustainable after the surgery. Until I get more information, I can't really make any decisions. Thanks for the vote of confidence, though!Rodneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17860620016177457657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377798491811359486.post-91745290823460689182011-06-28T20:59:06.329-04:002011-06-28T20:59:06.329-04:0050 lbs in actually very easy to lose for someone w...50 lbs in actually very easy to lose for someone who is already 500 lbs. Even a modicum amount of exercise and slight adjustment to your diet will drop that many pounds for someone of your size.<br /><br />Losing more than that, otoh, would require a more dedicated and drastic lifestyle change -- but for now that first 50 should be a cinch to burn in just 3 weeks, let alone 4.<br /><br />And, as I said before on FB -- you can do it! :)<br /><br />--David B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377798491811359486.post-58492394888331045172011-06-28T20:23:43.223-04:002011-06-28T20:23:43.223-04:00Rodney,

In the case of my grandmother, another hospital was content to 'let her go', we transferred her to Lahey and I am happy to say my grandmother is still with us.<br /><br />I would most certainly advise you to go to Lahey for this procedure now that it seems that it will be a scheduled procedure rather than the emergency one you went in for...Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12364004384305658202noreply@blogger.com
