Just to keep everyone up to date.. I haven't had the surgery due to this disorder and they are not doing anything to try to help me along the way. I'm disappointed.I'm trying to fix myself but it's so hard. Determined1LD

Im looking into it now Determined1LD

Wherected? Huh Determined1LD

I was diagnosed with having binge disorder. Its so hard for me to lose the weight and stop the binges. Any advise? Im looking for a counselor who specialize in this but even that's difficult. I so badly want and need this surgery. I know it would be a tool in the weight loss process but right now I feel like I have no control help I told the therapist that is on my team we spoke about it I need an outside person to talk to.

Thank you so much Determined1LD

Thank you for your words of encouragement! Thank you sho much Determined1LD

Its the bariatric team that told me about this diagnosis Determined1LD Its more than just overeating... I know its a TOOL not a fix Determined1LD

Who's doing your surgery Determined1LD

Im in akron ohio too Determined1LD

Thank you guys for the reply back Determined1LD

Ok I'm about to get super personal and I need some advise. I was wondering if there's hope for me I was diagnosed with a eating disorder... Binge disorder. Look it up if your not familiar with it. I'm in treatment/counseling for it but I'm super nervous that once I get the surgery I might binge eat and then the surgery would have been for nothing. Any advice? Determined1LD

No i don't sorry Determined1LD

Yep... My insurance said the same thing. My bariatric team that they have a set number of visits and bmi. So this is not all off the wall stuff. What insurance do you have? Sent from my LGLS755 using the BariatricPal App

What's the EGD? Is that when they look down your throat? If so mine is scheduled for the 17th. determined1LD

So in the first month I loss the half of what they require of me to lose. Surgeon would like me to lose more and so do I. But as of lately I have no ambition no motivation because it hurts so much to move. I lost the weight last month by monitoring what I put in my mouth only. But I pray I'm able to get these knee injections because then I'll be able to do resulting in me losing more weight. What can I do to get start my motivation again to want to lose weight? Even though the weight that I've lost (10 lbs.) is no where near where I want to be. I weigh 417 standing at 5'6" please any advise would be helpful. determined1LD

I went to my appointment today and spoke with my surgeon he said I will be on a week fast of opti-fast and all my concerns and questions were answered. I feel comfortable. I even found out I lost some weight too. That was good news. Scheduled another appointment that I need to be sedated for in October. Everything is going smoothly. determined1LD

Really! Any complications determined1LD Not a single one. I probably had one of the easiest recoveries of anyone posting here...I was on full diet at 4 weeks and haven't looked back since. How much weight have you lost determined1LD

Really! Any complications determined1LD
