- Hi. I'm 38 and my highest weight was 214 lbs. last fall. I'm now at 205 lbs. I'm working on my packet and hope to have the outpatient MGB this summer with Dr. Rutledge. My dad had the MGB with Dr. Rutledge two years ago and it was the best thing he could have done. I'm a wife and mother of two, ages 3 years and 9 months. I've struggled with weight my entire life, and now am starting to get the co-morbidities (first, high cholesterol), the same path my dad took. I so want to be healthy, weigh less, feel physically good again, have energy, not hurt anymore (back, knees), and be a healthy example for my children. I feel the MGB is the answer for me too, as it was for my dad. I think it will change things for me so the rest of my life will be so much better.

Feeling terrible
I guess its only fitting that I'm feeling terrible lately, as I'm working on my MGB packet/application. I'm only 38 and my two children (ages 3 years and 9 months) wear me out. How embarrassing is that. My lower back aches terribly and constantly now. My knees feel weak, etc. I'm on cholesterol-lowering medication. Its all my weight. I look in the mirror and don't recognize myself anymore. I'm tired, and I'm so "tired" of feeling this way! At this age - approching 40 - I should be running laps a… Continue

Thank you very much for your very kind message.Of course I remember you and your dad at the picnic. Because I want to be your size in future:))))) it has been 4 weeks since surgery, im feeling very good all those bed feelings have gone away but i guess they're normal feeelings. I understand your concern about surgery, but you dont need to worry about it because doctor rutledge and his staff and people at the hospital are wonderfull. I felt very safe and confident with them. First six hours following to surgery is rough but then every hour you will be much better.
Regarding to packet we had very good experince, so if you need any help you can ask us( me or my husband).Plus you are very lucky because you are living wonderfull place:)))))) All the best.

Hope to hear from you again soon.
It is so easy for someone who has not struggled the way we have to say "eat right and exercise" they have no idea what we've been through. My first thought is absolutely, do not make your decision based on what he said. I'm not saying you should or shouldn't, that has to come from you, but you can't base your decision off of a comment from someone who doesn't understand where your coming from. I would trust Dr. Rutledge's advice more than his. Didn't you talk to him at the picnic? Did he act like he didn't think you should do this?
Let's say you are taking a walk in the forest and the path you are on is getting very difficult to walk on, it is getting rocky, and slippery, and there is a steep cliff on one side. It is starting to feel very dangerous and you keep twisting your ankle and stubbing your toe. Then the path comes to a fork. One path you can take leads you into a place where there is a cliff on both sides and you have to climb over thorny logs and huge boulders. It is a path that is even more dangerous and worse than the one you were on and it leads into darkness. The other path that you can choose is on even ground that leads through an open meadow full of bright sunshine and beautiful flowers. You can see at the end of the path is a fine cottage with your loved ones and all the things you desire for your life waiting for you. Which path would you choose?
My feelings about this are, if you can see that you are on a path that is leading you into worse health and higher weight with more co-morbidities why not change direction now instead of waiting until things are much worse. Again, I am not trying to convince you to do this, that is too personal a decision. Just make sure that you are making the decision based on the right things. Don't feel that you are weak if you decide to do this, it is not the easy way out. Make sure that you think about the alternatives in both directions. What will happen if you do it ? What will happen if you don't do it? What do either of these choices mean for your family and your future?
I'm sorry I'm going on and on. I just feel for you so much, I know that this is a tough decision. I'm here to talk whenever you want. I had my Dr. Appt and psych eval yesterday, both of them were very supportive (whew). I also got approved for a line of credit a couple of days ago so if my van doesn't sell then I'm covered. I'm scheduled for June 4th, I would love to meet you in person when I'm there.
