I am about 3 months from surgery date. Very excited but had my psyc eval and got one who "specializes" in weight loss. Now she wants me to be reeval. In 2 months and attend her sessions. My nutritionist takes care of that. So hopefully they will duke that out for me. Very discouraging. I have to quit smoking and am ok with that. Sorta... I, like most, have a stressful life and struggle with this. Keeping forward movement on this process and love reading your stories. Very motivating.
