I'm going in on Monday, June 30

I'm glad to hear that you are doing well.  I can relate to feeling emotionally flat after surgery.  I had this odd sense of being disconnected that I attributed to pain killers.  The rapid weight loss I experienced in the begining led to an almost euphoric state that has now left me feeling disconnected again.  I think my mind is having a BIT of trouble keeping up with all the changes in my body and routine.  I recently started going to OA meetings online, while working up the courage to go to a face to face meeting.  It seems to be helping a bit.    Feel free to give me a holler any time!!

It is interesting about how the mind and body seem to struggle to keep up with each other. I knew someone else had to feel this way so thanks for sharing. I'm still feeling better bit by bit. 12 lbs. now. Woo hoo! There is a weight loss support group in town, but I don't know where. I just bought Weight loss Surgery for Dummies and I wish I'd had it before the surgery. It's very good.

I'm actually working on starting one myself ,but the lovely folks here on OH, that do the training schedule it at 3am our time!!  I'm a night owl but usless at 3am!!  I know that there is a group here and I have the info if you are interested.  It is a surgeon's group but they welcomed me to join in.   KAri

Sure, send the info! someone emailed me the time and location for the Fairbanks group. First and third Tuesday of the month at 6 p.m. at Tanana Valley Clinic I'm not much of a joiner but I might go. It has been helpful to hear about how other people manage. Diana
