This post may be 6 and a half months too late, but Dr. Sahagian did my gall bladder removal and I was very impressed with him and his team of nurses at Premier!
Do you know......our founder, Eric Klein, created ObesityHelp back in 1998 and we've been the source of information, support and education for bariatrics since that time.
Do you know.....that ObesityHelp organized and hosted the first ever National Conference for pre-ops, post-ops, and individuals considering weight loss surgery?

Four years ago my life changed forever! I am so glad to have my health and wish I had done my surgery 10 years before!
Be proud of your courage!
When you feel the compulsion to eat...Take a deep breath and examine how you are feeling. What is it thats really happening inside your head and your heart. I am an emotional eater. There is usually always something driving my need to feed. Ask yourself - are you really hungry? What is it you really feel?
Take some deep breaths, practice some relaxation exercises, divert yourself by drinking or doing something else.
Are you going to any support groups? Even OA can help you rebuild your strategies and tools. Let go of any anger and shame. The negative emotions are nothing but poison for our souls. Don't let them control you. You have nothing to be angry with yourself about. You may not have always made the best decisions, but you have the strength to recognize that and the will to make a better choice in the future.
You can do this. You know how to do this. We are all here to help.

Thank you so much for this information, you saved me a lot of headache and searching.
I'm schedule for seminar on September 11th
I cannot seem to get my food intake under control...I feel like a failure. I look in the mirror and despise my body. I went through a lot to be able to have the surgery 10 years ago....I should be able to do this, I keep coming back here because truthfully this is where it all began. I'm still fighting and I'm going to continue fighting.
Hey Jennifer, I read ur message but for some reason 'im unable to reply to it. I'm still at he very beginning of this journey. I have my first visitto Dr. Woodmans office on Sept.3rd.I havent jumped through any hoops yet. lol I was told at the siminar i went to for Woodman that i didn't have to do a 6months supervised diet, so im hopping that things will go fast.
I'm so sorry to hear about the insurance. I so hoped we'd be surgery sisters. This process has me jumping through so many hoops that I don't know if coming or going. I was approved a few days ago and will get my surgery date with Dr. Wegner in 6 days (Yikes). Please keep me/us posted.
Jennifer
