And this is coming from the guy who last told me he'd "lost" the running bug and couldn't really get it back.

I'm in awe of you, Tom C. You are my hero.

Come do boot camp with me when you get back...

There's a doctor that switches off running the Morristown group at Metabolic Medicine and Weight Control Centers (part of Morristown Memorial Hospital). I think he also does private therapy. He's very nice. I want to say his name is Dr. Papcheck, but I could be spelling it entirely wrong. You could google it and ask their office staff.

I have a wonderful therapist that I adore. But I was seeing him long before my surgery, and he doesn't really "specialize" in weight loss or surgery. He's got office hours in Ledgewood and New York. I know neither of those is convenient, but if you're interested I'd be happy to give you his info.

Good luck!

This is a pretty new office so I am sure she is accepting new patients!  She isn't in the office on Mondays (I don't think) but I'm sure they will call you back when they get the message.

Thats awesome!!  Good for you     I would have never thought to do that, but I'm sure jogging at 430am in Vegas means you've probably seen alot of wild stuff while you are the one sober!     So it adds entertainment value as well as a great health benefit!

Topic: Psychologist recommendations?
Hi everyone!

My surgery is this coming Tuesday and I've been having difficulty trying to find a psychologist that would be able to have one on one therapy sessions while I'm going thru my journey...

I got the link from OH for psychologist/iatrists and literally just started calling off the list, but  either they are booked, dont return calls, bad hours, etc. 

I'm going to be going to group support as well, but felt it would be in my best interest to get someone locally for a more personal approach.

I live in W.Orange and am willing to drive 30-45 mins. away (it is Jersey afterall - we need 30 mins to get anywhere anyway!).  Does anyone have a psychologist that they can recommend that specializes with weight issues/WLS patients?

Thanks!

Best of luck and I hope you have a speedy and healthy recovery!  I'm up for it on Tuesday and the excitement has turned into anxiety, but I'm sure things will go great!
