  1. I'm having my surgery July 8th, and so far I've only told my mom. (I have no significant other.) I'm not really sure how honest to be with others about the surgery, for fear that I may regret telling them in the future. There's a part of me that wants to be totally open about it. Goodness knows it can take a lot of energy to hide something like that. But I'd like to know from those who've BTDT. Did you ever regret telling a particular person? Would you do anything differently if you had to do it again?

    My first reaction would be, "Is there research to support this?" It looks like there is quite a bit of research that supports the effectiveness of hypnosis for other compulsions, so it isn't so far fetched. I found this news story about it: http://abcnews.go.co...pnosis-11743607 I wonder, if this is something you'd really like to try (even if it's just in the interim while you wait for a real surgery date), whether you would be able to find a hypnotist-in-training who would be willing to provide sessions for a minimal cost or for free. It's worth making a few calls, I'd say. But I certainly wouldn't pay the big bucks for it given that a good number of people aren't all that "hypnotizable." Good luck.
  3. Thanks for your feedback, folks. I think I will sit on it for a while. I sure don't like the idea of having a bunch of people constantly assessing my progress!
  4. I was in college when I was 230lbs. and Pregnant, and I still fit into those desks. You should be okay. And kudos to you going back to college. You won't regret it!
