Jelly

Hi, I found this site in a google search a few weeks ago, and have been reading your posts with interest. I am wondering more about the emotional side of the surgery, and how it helps if your an emotional eater rather than just an over eater. Does it make you more down at times and do things get better I guess? I have aprox. 50kg to lose and am considering surgery for early 09.

Thats what I was wondering. Years ago my GP gave me some pills that made me feel full all the time, it was wonderful as I was able to think only about the other side of weight loss, kinda like a patch for a smoker (I used Patches to quit for good). Thanks for the book titles, I'll hunt them down A physchologist is a good idea, never actually thought of that. I think we have one here that flies into town 1 day a month? I will ask my GP. My head is not in a good place at the moment, I feel as though everything is falling in around me, and the weight does not help at all. Sorry to winge.

I too have First Chioce cover, and rang them last week to see if i was covered with this level. Turns out I am fully covered except for my excess and the gap payment, so you will be fine, it's just a matter of finding a good doctor now that does not charge too much :biggrin:
