Jen,
I noticed that you said your were recently dx with BP and BPD and I wanted to invite you to check out the bipolar forums on about.com. They are pretty helpful.

Topic: RE: Pysch Eval postponed my surgery date
Hi,
I think your team are looking out for your best interests.
My question is why are you even persuing a RNY bypass after having the failure with the band when there is a procedure with much better long term results???
I know that if I had a band or a RNY I would eventually be a failure as I would regain the weight. I don't HAVE to have surgery to LOOSE weight my problem is KEEPING it off. Hence I have applied to have the DS.
But I'm just a newbie so I may not understand.

Topic: RE: AA people????
Hey Leslie -
My name is Sean and I am an alcoholic. It have been 16 years since I have had me last drink. I was an alcoholic and sober before I was legal!! I substituted food for my lack of alcohol which put me to morbid obesity. I have since kicked that and taken up guns!!! That has become my new passion though...
I saw that we are surgery twins, im just 2 years older! I had mine June 25 2007.
Keep it up!!!

06/15 REFLECTION FOR THE DAY
Learning how to live in peace, partnership and brotherhood -- with all men and women -- is a fascinating and often very moving adventure. But each of us in The Program has found that we're not able to make much headway in our new adventure of living until we first take the time to make an accurate and unsparing survey of the human wreckage we've left in our wake. HAVE I MADE A LIST OF ALL PERSONS I HAVE HARMED, AS STEP EIGHT SUGGESTS, AND BECOME WILLING TO MAKE AMENDS TO THEM ALL?
TODAY I PRAY
May God give me the honesty I need, not only to look inside myself and discover what is really there, but to see the ways that my sick and irresponsible behavior has affected those around me. May I understand that my addiction is not -- as I used to think -- a loner's disease, that, no matter how alone I felt, my lies and fabrications spread out around me in widening circles of hurt.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
Lies spread to infinity.

Kimmy:
I have my "eye" on a sponser - hoping she is at the meeting I am going to on Wednesday. I am 30 days as of today - which rocks. Longest I have gone w/o drinking for nearly 4 years.
Each day is amazing.
I met with a new therapist last Friday and she seems to be awesome. I am excited at that - as I have had a couple of other therapist's that just did not click w/ me.

Hi there, I am pretty new at this program too. My name is Kim and I am 41 days clean and sober today 6-15-09. I was in and inpatient program for 15 days, I got out 3 weeks ago. Today is an awesome day. I go to AA meetings every morning at 7 am, they help so so much, I even found a sponsor. This morning I saw my therapist too. The therapist really helps alot. We can tell them pretty much anything without being judged, and their advise seems very helpful, with the right tools I know the program will work for us Alcoholics. If you ever need a friend Anne, to talk to I will be here for you, okay... take care and hope you have a great day.
