Getting Excited!!!

The ball has started to roll....  I've registered for the Freedom From Diets Course (@ Kaiser-Sunnyside), had my first appt. w/a mental health counselor (also @ Kaiser) to help determine why I eat like I do, tomorrow I have an appt. with a nutritionist, and the 28th I meet w/my PCP to get the referral into Kaiser's Bariatric Program!!!

I'm getting sooooooooooo excited!   Just wanted to share...   Have a good day!

Good for you Gretchen.  The journey gets really exciting.  I'm in the midst of reading absolutely everything about the surgery that I can get my hands on.  There is a lot of good information out there. Linda

Gretchen who did you meet with over at Kaiser?  Julie and Brenda are wonderful, you will really like them.  Once you get started on the class, you're on your way!!  Hope to see you at the support group meeting Saturday. Peggy

I'm not going to be able to make it to this meeting...    I'm throwing a party for my parents' 30th Anniversary @ noon, so I don't think I will be able to make it, but I will definitely be there next month!   I haven't met anyone from the class or anything yet, I've only registered over the phone (and paid my $150).   I will TRY to see if I can make the class this Saturday - at least for a little bit...  I would love to be able to go!  I was really disappointed when I found out that this month's support group meeting fell on the 23rd. 

Oh, well...  there's always next time (If I can't make this one)!!  

Gretchen - The journey has started!  Congrats!  I'm excited for you too...because for me, there are no regrets and I am so happy when others make a decision to help themselves also!  I'm so proud of you!

Thanks!  I'm excited too!   I'm glad you're so happy!  It's really encouraging to hear there are no regrets from someone who has already gone thru it!   Congratulations on your success!   Gretchen
