Well here’s a question I just had to answering straight away:
I can help!! I am a Wellness Coach and weight loss surgery is not an effective way to help your mother lose weight. Most people who get weight loss surgery end up gaining the weight back. What your mother needs to do is get her body healthy and the weight will naturally come off as a result.
As a Wellness Coach, it’s my job to help her get back on track with her health and learn to live a healthy lifestyle so she can keep the weight off. Based on your desperation, I would say you are very concerned for her health.
I can give a consultation over the phone and recommend a program for her. This phone consultation is FREE. Contact me via my e-mail address and I can give you my phone number so we can talk.
To Your Wellness!

Has she exhausted all other weight loss options such dieting alone, working with a group such as weight watchers or registered dietitian? What about exercise? Surgery, especially on those who are obese always comes as a risk and no surgeon is going to operate without all other option being exhausted.
I would actually suggest she find a surgeon and give them a call to see if any do a free consult or free information session just to go over the basics such as who may be qualified for surgery (besides already trying everything else, they typically won’t accept people who’s BMI is lower than 40 because again it’s risky surgery and the risks are just not worth it unless your health is suffering greatly or is going to be immensely because of the obesity).. They may also offer payment plans or financing so your mom can know financially what she has to work towards to make the surgery possible.

HOW over weight is she? Is she capable of moving around on her own? If she is and there are no major health issues other than her weight all she needs to do is change her lifestyle. Eat healthy in the right amounts and exercise as intensly as shes able. I just read a post on a workout site from a guy who weighed 370 lbs. After 6 months he now weighs 298 and still truckin.
Get her doing something. Get her a dietician to teach her how to eat right. You will help her more that way than trying to get her surgery. It will be rough and it will hurt and she wont like it but it will really be the best for her. When that weight starts falling off she will come to love the exercise and eating. If she isnt able to exercise at ALL, its doubtful but she may find a hospital willing to take her on if her health is endangered enough.
Link below is the exercise site i was telling you about. Its free.

When I go looking for replacement automobile insurance is one of the simplest ways to save your money. You can get a fast estimate online they often give you competing prices.
