Could I Need Counseling



Recommended Posts

WOW! I love this thread. Believe me, this thread hits me where it hurts! I have figured out that my fat is my 'parka' to protect me, but I didn't know lots of other people do the same thing. That at least makes me feel a little better. The problem is, I don't know how to get past it. I'm not sure why I always sabotage myself, so I'm trying to find a therapist to help me figure it out. I'm not banded yet, but I can see myself eating again after I've lost some weight. 2 years ago I lost 40lbs, but gained it all back. Hopefully a good therapist will help me.

Great thread. Thanks everyone for sharing.

Ditto on pretty much the entire thread... The surgery doesn't change the way you think, it only changes you physically. If you can afford therapy and are really open to it, do it! It's a luxury and next to the surgery, the best thing I ever did for myself.

I would like to attend a weekly or twice monthly, or monthly support group with lab banders in the area. I used to go to OA, but haven't been in a long time. I think a person to person support group would be really cool.

What do you think about it?

I just posted a response to the thread, but was really intended for Happyhomecc who lives close to me.

Has anybody else attended any lapbander support groups?

I used to go to OA meetings, and they really did help alot. I haven't been able to afford therapy...

A friend of mine once told me that Dr Krahns group holds meetings ... but other than that I am not sure of anything local aside from local chapters of OA. If you find something let me know... I will do the same. Have you asked your dr office, I would think they would know.

Funny, I'm on hold right now to dr. Krahn's office to make an appointment (when I read your reply). I'll ask when someone gets on the phone with me.

CGail,

any info, if there are meetings are they open to non-patients of his?

I just found out there is a support group June 25th at 6:30 p.m. at St. Bernardine Hospital at the San Jose Room. You might be up and around be that time - I dunno if its open to others I'll find out.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
