Meeting with surgeon December 11th

[GrannyGoes4it 10]

Hi

I have been reading the pre-op post and find them very supportive and informative. Thank you. I have met with the registration people and will meet with the surgeon and see the nutritionist and the psychologist right after that. I do not know when the 3 month classes will begin. I am looking forward to starting them and getting on with the things I need to do. Is this where most of the pre-op people hang out or is there any other threads I should follow? I am so thankful to have found this site, I think it is going to be very helpful. I have not finished filling out the profile yet because I have not been approved yet. I will do that as soon as I am approved. Looking forward to getting to know everyone. I am 65 and so I will be a Medicare patient and have to follow their guidelines. I have not had many health problems in the past with my weight and now it is beginning to take a toll on my health. I have tried everything and I am so praying this will work. My major health issue is my back, I had scoliosis surgery at age 45, very severe curve not found until I was 28. Post op pain is pretty bad. I know weight loss will help that. Lately I have developed some heart issues and had an ablation. My blood sugar is not that high, I run 107 most mornings I check it, cut that is higher than it used to be and my triglicerides and cholesterol, while still within normal limits, have gone up to borderline. KWIM So....I can see the writing on the wall. One major question I have is ...does this help emotional eaters, that is one of my major problems, lots of stress in my life and I know I medicate with food. I appreciate any answers you can give me. Is there a thread that is good for emotional eaters to follow? Thank you again so much, Grannygoes4it
