I NEED SUPPORT!!

sorry the first part of my post was lost.  I am sorry you are feeling this way.  I was a leader for a support group in Lee Summit until 4 months ago when our group lost 3 people to Kansas and St. Louis area.  then the past 2 months we had 3 people out with surgery on back, knee and hip .  Now I founds out yesterday that we no longer can use the building we had.  The rest of us are left without a support group.  I am looking for one closer to my home and inquired about the support group in Higginsville and no one has answered.  I am sure there is one in Kansas City and someone will come to your rescue.  I hope it works out for you.  Colette

THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY. I SEE YOU USED DR. H ALSO. I HOPE I FIND SOMEONE HERE TOO. SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT THE GROUP I HOPE THAT ALL WORKS OUT FOR YOU.

Welcome to the board sweetie......Hope you will keep posting and let us get to know you better......
What advice is your therepist giving you for what your going thru?....I have heard some people have pain with their depression....Maybe the prozac will help you out some.... What sort of pain are you having?? ....Did you have a psyc eval before surgery?....
I think somone on the board posts about a support meeting  up your way....Keep an eye out on the board as they usually post a week or so before the meetings.....Being with others that know where you are coming from with the WLS will help out alot....
Do you not feel having a job will give you something to focus on and that it might be good for you to get out and about around other people???
I will be praying for you.....I hope you get to attend a meeting soon.... and I hope your therepist helps you further with your situation....
God Bless you Sweetie....Luv & Hugs.....Tammy~ammy

THANKS FOR RESPONDING. MY THERAPIST HAS ME FOCUS ON POSITIVE BEHAVIORS THAT I CAN DO TO HELP MY SITUATIONS. SHE IS REALLY GOOD. IM A PSHYCOLOGY STUDENT, BELIEVE IT OR NOT :) SO I HAVE TAKEN A FEW CLASSES IN THE SUBJECT AND IT HELPS ME IDENTIFY RATHER OR NOT MY THERAPIST IS HELPFUL. MY PAIN IS MOSTLY IN MY LEFT SIDE, BACK AND LEGS. IT COMES AND GOES IN THE INTINSITY AND I'VE BEEN TESTED FOR EVERYTHING. I DID HAVE A PSYC EVAL BEFORE SURGERY AND I FULLY UNDERSTOOD THE PROS AND CONS OF WLS. BUT KNOWING THST FIRE IS HOT AND ACTUALLY GETTING BURNED ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS. I KNOW THAT HAVING A JOB WILL HELP AND THAT I NEED TO GET UP AND GET O FEEL BETTER ITS JUST THAT I DONT WANT TO GET UP AND GET OUT BECAUSE I FEEL SO BAD ITS AN INTERNAL BATTLE.

THANK YOU FOR THAT INFO I WILL SEND HER AN EMAIL PRONTO. I AM FULLY OPEN TO OTHER TYPES OF WLS.

Tiffiany i hear your hurt and understand and a lot of us on here do....yes they should pay some more attention to the head while they have us under lol...but since they dont the next best thing to a lic. therapist is getting in with a good support group . one that has someone that you can call anytime about problems....or several someones.
After wls and you start losing weight there is a huge surge of hormones that you didnt know were hiding in our fat cells...as you lose the fat the hormones come out of hiding and kick our butts. but hang in there this too shall pass. Trust in God to get you thru this , he will if you just ask him to. I see you have always suffered from depression take your meds as the doctor says and study your bible it really will help....love and care about you keep on talking to us...there is someone on here that you will connect with very well and be a huge help to you....Love

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR RESPONDING...IT IS A HELP JUST TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO WILL TAKE THE TIME TO RESPOND TO YOU. I JUST GOT A VERY NICE AND FUNNY GET WELL CARD FROM MY FAMILY IN LOUISIANA. IT LIFTED MY SPIRITS ALOT. AND I MAY HAVE FOUND SOMEONE ON THI SFORUM THAT I CONNECT WITH :)
