Hi Kathi! Good luck today! I am just starting the program at CMC. I had my 4th "Lifestyle Change" class tonight. It's nice to see a fellow CMC person on here.
Best wishes for a speedy and happy recovery!

Topic: RE: Depressed and feeling silly about it.
Gerri, I can fully understand how you feel. They operate on our bodies not our heads. As you open up to your old habits (hiking, camping, just walking around) you may find yourself open to meeting someone. It is hard to start doing things by yourself, but know you are not alone. By opening up and realizing that this is an issue you can deal with it. I believe there is a forum for singles, not sure where I am married but I know there have been people that have met and had a relationship with people here. Just know you are not alone. Keep up the great work and in the spring, when the mountain clears lets try and walk it together. Be safe in the snow and stay warm.

Topic: RE: DS in NH
Hi Craig,
To the best of my knowledge there are no DS surgeons in New England. The closest to New Hampshire would be the DS surgeons in New York City, Dr. Roslin, Dr. Shah, etc. Next would be Dr. Greenbaum in New Jersey.
My surgeon just started doing the VSG last year but they have no intention of doing the DS as I asked his PA at my last appt.
Valerie
P.S. Please post this over on the DS Forum as their is a DSer from New Hampshire...she had her DS at the Lahey Clinic but not sure if her surgeon is actively doing the DS.

Topic: Depressed and feeling silly about it.
Ok. I can't believe I'm about to share this cause I'm not that open. But does anyone else feel this way.
I have lost 45+ lbs prior/post lap band. Well I have been feeling so good about my weight loss that I have started to care about myself, Dug out some nice close to wear instead of tshirts and such. Started thinking of doing the things I useto like, such as camping, Real hiking in the mountains and other fun stuff like that. (don't get me wrong still got another 100 lbs to go). Well all of a sudden it hit me... I'm so depressed cause I don't have anyone to do it with... No I don't mean sex either.. Just someone to do things with, build a relationship, you know someone to care about you and you to care about them. I didn't like how I looked so I shut the world out now that door has a crack in it and it is depressing me....
I hope that you understand what I mean. Just thought I would get this off my chest cause it is driving me absolutely batty.
