Question : What health problems are needed in order to qualify for gastric bypass surgery?
What types of health problems are needed to qualify to have gastric bypass surgery? Do you only qualify if you have severe health problems caused by this or could you qualify if you have smaller health problems like knee arthritis & breathing problems? Most of my family is obese and have heart disease, sleep apnea. Would they take that into consideration? My sister had gastric bypass surgery with a starting weight at 208 and is down to 128. I don’t think she had any medical problems due to her obesity.

Usually you have to have a BMI (Body Mass Index) of 40 or more to qualify for gastric bypass. If you have a BMI of over 35, sometimes you can qualify if you have significant co-morbidities such as diabetes or sleep apnea. First and foremost, “they” look at how morbid obesity is affecting you, however, your family history may be taken into account, if close relatives are morbidly obese and have health problems relating to obesity.

Question : How to get roots straight and hair silky and bouncy, what products should I use?
I have very curly hair and the hair near my scalp is frizzy and wild, what product should I use to get my hair to have mobility and be super straight and silky without being stiff and thick feeling? I am trying to go for a light and bouncy look, without having to use thinning shears to thin out my hair.

Dont ever use those thinning shears near the scalp only on the ends!! that could be the reason why your hair frizzes near you scalp. O.K. onto the subject of straightening buy a good quality straightening iron and some CHI Shine Infusion (it makes your hair shine, defrizzes, and protects from the heat of blow drying and ironing). To start styling blow dry your hair using a paddle brush trying to straighten your hair as much as possible then after dry, spray your hair with the Shine Infusion (not too much as it will make your hair greasy) then section your hair into two sections top and bottom. take small sections making sure that you get the iron as close to the scalp as possible without burning yourself of course. then slowly go down the hair shaft and continue to do this the whole way around your head. Just something for you to try and see if it works for you. Hope this helps.

Eating disorder recovery help?

Question : Eating disorder recovery help?
I’ve suffered with anorexia since the beginning of April 2009. I was hospitalized in an inpatient program in July for about 7 weeks for uncontrollable symptoms and weigh loss again. I’m 16 since May 24th and now 6’3 in height. Before my ED I used to eat
two bowls of cereal for breakfast in the morning,
a sandwich with dorittos or chips at lunch,
chips, poptarts with milk, cookies with milk, or ice cream for a snack when I got home
dinner varied, but i ate whatever portion my dad put on my plate usually
and at night i would usually have ice cream, poptarts with milk, or cookies with milkd(i wouldn’t have something if I had it earlier for an afternoon snack)
And I would constantly have big slurpees from 7-Eleven.
When I was eating all this before my eating disorder I was 6 foot and 150 lbs with a rock hard six pack and was pretty skinny, but was basically all muscle. I used to do 200 situps a night and was pretty physically active all the time. I guess due to all those factors I had a high metabolism, which my doctor said I have my whole life and will because I got it from my grandfather.
Now, that I’m 6’3 155 lbs I’m not eating that, I’m eating differently and less, I stay away from the junk food and slurpees that I used to eat. My question is if I start eating everything the way I was before will I gain a lot of weight? Will my metabolism get back to where it used to be before my eating disorder if I start doing everything as I used to? Will it kick back in once I start eating that way again? and will my fat to muscle weight ratio go back to where it was before my eating disorder if I eat and exercise like I did before? Sorry for such a long post, I just want to be sure. Thanks for all the help and advice. If anyone has been through this problem before and is willing to talk about it and give their input and advice through email my email is michaelhill24@comcast.net
will I be able to get back to the fat and muscle weight ratio I was before if I ate like I did before and exercises like I did before, which is decribed above
