Actually there are several different options... stomach stapling is only one of them... another involves the placement of a rubberband type of contraption...

I do agree with Irish however, I would get more than one opinion.. ESPECIALLY due to the area in which you live and the LACK of good doctors (In my opinion).

Irish & Jenna,
My own doctor would not be the one to do the surgery. I would be sent to a clinic that specializes in the procedure. It would be up to them to evaluate me...to see if I'd be a good candidate or not, as well as whether or not our insurance would cover it. First step is to attend a seminar hosted by the clinic, after which they encourage us to talk to others that will be there that have already undergone the procedure. It's a long involved process getting approved for it.
I believe it is the same as what's referred to as "stomach stapling" but the intestines also get re-routed. This clinic also does the procedure laproscopically. It's much less invasive than the older one where you are cut from your breast bone down to the navel.

Lest anyone think I'm entering into this lightly....the current way of measuring whether or not one is a healthy weight is by one's BMI (Body Mass Index). A healthy BMI is approximately 25. Mine is nearly 60. This has long since ceased being a matter of cosmetics, it's a matter of health. Sometime in the future I will have to have open heart surgery. The weight I'm at now would make that more risky than normal. I need to improve my odds as much as possible.

I am a BBW... and love the attention i can fine on the net, but always fail at getting it when i'm out. I go to pubs, bars, clubs and i think i look great, but always leave empty handed at the end of the night... though i sometimes return home a little down, there's always here to be cheered up :)

anyone else find this problem by the way?? Maybe it's just the ignorant people in the town i live... :)

no englishrose... unfortunately.. I don't think that it is as simple as only the ignorant people in your town... I think ignorance is an epidemic... and it is everywhere..

Sadly... I think that this world is filled with "Now"... and unless some sort of satisfaction is obtained in the "Now", they aren't willing to stick around for the good stuff....

I have the very same problem... here on the net.. I have several wonderful men who shower me with attention (okay.. that might be a slight exageration)... but when I go out... I don't get a second look... (well maybe a snicker, or atleast that is how I sense it)... and I come home alone...


HUGS englishrose... I can relate... oh so much..

I'm into curvy ladies...oh yeah!

Ah, nice to know i'm not alone jennaflower, so hugs to you too!!
I'm off out on new years and have promised myself to not come home unsatisfied! ... goodness knows where that will lead me...
But you're right about the showering of attention on here.... i love to walk away from the computer with a smile. :)
take care x

englishrose - if your needing a hug to cheer you up on new years and your in Yorkshire - drop me a line and I'll do my best to give you a hug to help you get through it - I hate to see a lady in distress

^... why thank you kind sir.... sadly, yorkshire is ever so slightly out of my way.... ;) i'll remember that statement though!!

x

Well you haven't passed this way much as I'd at least buy you a drink! it's a shame people just look at the outer appearance and not the personality. If you ever in this part of the world, mail me...!

We of the White Rose county know about these things...

Animal.... i am in your part of the world.... or do you mean your part of the country??

I must warn you, i am very easily confused!

x

Whoops, I meant this part of the country, and you know where that is....

And englishrose if Animalnot is busy and can't help you out I'm always available to help a lady

Well looks like englishrose's summer break is sorted! ;)

we should be able to make her smile between us mate! ;-)

Sure we will mate! ;)

here you go... :)

No,no. What you need is a tall and tanned Aussie to have for a night out. When I get over there that is! lol. Australians know how to have a good time.

^ i don't doubt that.... i'd have a great night just listening to your accent, loverly! x

But they can't play rugby!!! ;-)

And I just know your going to mention cricket now mate lol

Thanks Englishrose.
musketeer we are SO nice we even let the English win things so they can feel good about themselves. :)

lmao.... i must say, all that rugby nonsense went over my head a ickle bit.... ;)

Yes it is a bit like that Englishrose. Not into sports at all?

Hmmm.... i used to watch football.... played it for a while, but it's not really for me... rugby... i'd play it maybe, but can;t watch it. basketbal and baseball i would happily play, but don';t really ever watch....
so... no, i guess i'm not really into sports too much.... :)

I bet I can guess one sport you'd be into, a sex marathon lol :D

looks over glasses at catch22 HMMMMMM!LOL :rolleyes:

Horse riding is about it for me.

Gotta say, I'm soo jealous rose, some girls get all the luck! Fair play to ya, hun!

I just discovered this thread... and I'm smiling cuz I too am a BBW... and I've got a wonderful man in my life who loves me just the way I am.

Jennaflower, I LOVE your avatar!!!

flutelady,

BBWs über alles!

sorry jseal... but.... huhhh??

flutelady,

BBWs "over all", "in praise of", etc.

ahhhh, I get it now. Thank you! :)

I'm a BBW (refer to myself as the large economy size). One of these days I might get the nerve to post some pics...

Go for it. I've posted (Not in a long while) and it fun. You don't even have to post anything sexual.

How Can you not love a BBW they are sexy and the nicest ppl you can meet

Boy that was some great grammer on my part. Anybody got a crowbar so I can get this knot out of my tongue.

There are no women sexier than a BBW. I am so much more aroused when with a BBW than any other body type.

I am a BBW lover too. :line:

love BBW's
 

i prefer my women to be BBW's because they are more down to earth and arent all about looks.

Pix from a BBW
 

Hi everyone,

I am new here and a BBW as well. I love Pixies already and am in erotic story heaven, lol! I would never have the nerve to post pics like many I've seen, but if mild pics are okay, here are a couple.

It's really nice to meet you all! :jump:
