hiya....i have 4 children...4 grandchildren....i am just starting my journey...almost have the book of paperwork the doctor wants before scheduling the appt filled out, it is going slowly due to just having hand surgery on monday...thank you!

O boy, surgery on Monday? Will be keeping you in my prayers that you heal fast. My first info session was in October and just had my surgery on June 6th. I was first scheduled for April 11th but it got canceled and I couldn't fit it in until this month. But I'll tell ya, I think it's good to have time to digest this whole thing and begin the divorcing process from food. By the time I had my surgery I had made peace with giving up my addiction to food. Take Care
