At first I really was upset about it, however, the doctors up here at WVU Ruby Memorial really do care about their patients. There is no easy way and I think GRB5111 makes a point. I think a change in lifestyle is the best route. After all, if you don't change your lifestyle even if you get the surgery you can return to the same size again.

serenityh - since you live in WV, and you are not already familiar with him, you should contact Dr. Mark Cucuzzella. He is a family physician, teaches at WVU, and who is very plugged in to lifestyle changes. He follows a low carb WOE, is well versed in low carb health, and has spoken at many low carb events in the past few years. Good guy! Here's the contact information. Good luck:
