My introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Nan, and my surgery date is scheduled tentativeley for 6/22.  Hard to believe I had my consult on 4/16 and in only three weeks, I'll be in surgery. I had all my ducks in a row before my consult, so thats why the quick turnaround. I'm nervous, yes...but also slightly overwhelmed. I have fears not of surgery, but of failure. I guess a lifetime of dieting, aka failure, has me in that mode of thinking. Anyway, I've been out here in OH land for about a year, lurking, reading, learning...it's because of all of you I was able to take that first step. So thanks for being so open about your lives, your struggles, your challenges and your successes! I can't make any meet and greets just yet...hopefully after surgery I'll be up for that. Also, if anyone knows a good WLS psychotherapist in Central NJ, I sure could use a reference. Thanks for listening!

A great Psychologists is Dr. Sakowitz. Dr Mike (as I like to call him) often posts on this forum (and is a member of the OH Mental Health Board). While he's in Wayne NJ, he's worth it. Everyone I sent to him always had a pleasurable expereince. If you want, I can send you his info.

While I know you didn't ask, you many need these links too
