Hi Molly,
I'm a bit late in sending this but I want you to know that I am really proud of you and the awesome stand that you're taking to overcome your ED!! You're very inspiring to all of us.
I would love to have a copy of the sheet you mentioned. If you could, please email it to me here at OH.
Thanks so much and keep up the excellent work!

I'm finding a lot of assistance locally! I'm checking into all of the options to see what looks best for me.

Also check Behavioral Health for Atlanta area. The good thing is you are in a large metropolitan area and should find something to fit your needs.
Thanks so much, Molly! I'm gonna go check it out now! :)
Other keys words to goole are Binge Eating disorder, Compulsive over eating, even Anorexic and Bulimic.

Congratulations, Molly!!
I'm thrilled for you and pray that you will get all that you need to reach your goal and overcome this battle once and for all. Sounds like something I could use. Do you know if they have meetings in the Atlanta area?
Glad to see you on this group!
Take care,
Donna :)
Welcome Cathrine and a big time congrats on your upcoming surgery. I have talked to many, many pre-ops in Canada and I know all about the wait time. I think the first person I talked to had 8 years to wait. In some ways that is just mind boggling but I also have known some people here that have been trying for 10 years.
I can so relate on being a cat person all my life but for the last few years I've had a rescue Bichon with three legs and he is my baby.
So glad you're here and SO HAPPY you are on your way!! We have some other Canadian members but we've been kinda slow lately which is a lot my fault. I hope to do a better job since some of my traveling has slowed down.
Welcome!!
Hugs, Y

I'm 48 and have two sweet cats (Desiree and Mona). My boyfriend adopted a rescue dog (mini poodle/terrier cross) earlier in the year and his name is Cody. I've always preferred cats to dogs but this little guy has stolen my heart.
Had an appointment with my surgeon today and he offered me surgery. I still need to get the two 'scopes done and then wait for surgery. I'm just so thrilled to be at this stage.

I feel it is important to share this because as me and you have discussed the struggle with COE and binge eating does not end for many after WLS and I want people to seek additional help for themselves if they need it. Many are not aware of the many programs out there and that many insurances cover much more than they use to for mental health these days. So good hearing from you and hope you are doing good. Thanks for your support and for believeing in me. I just got more good news today. We switch insurance in January 2012 and my new provider covers most of the cost of the program also. Now I just have to pray I keep my job another six months so I can complete program. I had intially wanted to wait to start the program in January but went ahead and started it in Sept in case new provider did not cover IOP programs. Yippee!!
Hugs, Molly
