once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Topic: RE: I am leaving on Friday
I am lucky that I actually have insurance again - as I went for almost a year w/o it - as I got fired from my job due to my drinking and my husband could not afford - as that time - to add me to his insurance. We decided during his open enrollment that with my health problems - that we had to spend the money regardless as the medical costs w/o it were going to drain us if we did not.
I wi**** was 100% - but it is 80% and we are hoping to be able to get them to waive the remainder of the 20% after the $1,700.00 payment.

Best of luck Anne, May you find yourself and the peace you deserve. I will continue to remember you in my thoughts and prayers, I think you are not only going to find the "old" Anne but a healthy "new" Anne.

Topic: RE: Someone please help...bipolar=no wls approval????
I'm bipolar and had my surgery 10-07 (sleeve) my insurance approved me I just had to have my psychiatrist write a letter that I was stable enough to have the surgery. I will tell you that I now have what they call "transfer addition". I drink everyday and have gained half my weight back because of the alcohol. Be aware that bipolar people have a higher incidence of transfer addition. Otherwise good luck

Topic: RE: Eating Disorder after RNY...
Are you in therapy? I suggest you consider it to discuss the underlying issues contributing to your eating behaviors. I was in eating disorder treatment with a woman *****stricted after she lost weight from gastric bypass. She has been battling it for years.

Wow Anne,
What a chunk of change to have to pay ON TOP of your insurance. I feel so blessed, as my treatment in or outpatient is covered 100% by my insurance.
I am confident that if you are Honest, Open and Willing, you will do your very best. Remember the 3rd Step, and just keep turning it all over to God.
God Bless.
Hugs,
Trish

Had to have $1,700.00 up front - my brothers and mother gave me the money as my Mother's Day gift with the agreement if I relapse in the first year - I have to repay them. I am so blessed with a family the loves me and knows I need this.

Please take care of yourself. I will be thinking about you. 30 days will go by quickly, but you need this time to work on you. I don't understand the insurance deductible thing, couldn't they just bill you? Maybe I don't understand insurance at all....................Good luck and best wishes. Kathy
Topic: I am leaving on Friday
I have gotten the money for the insurance deductible and I am leaving Friday morning to go into a 30 day program. I am scared, yet excited. I am finally going to get the "old" Anne back and she has been sorely missed by not only myself, but all of my family and friends.

Topic: RE: how to overcome depression?
You are welcome. thank you for the encouragement for my recovery.
From what I know from cognitive therapy, having been in it for 19 years, and studied it in grad school, it is not so much about positive thinking, but learning to identify the schemas in our thinking which beliefs and behavior. Schemas are the "programming" that we have from childhood experiences and other input. Once we learn the beliefs we have, we can learn to test to see if those beliefs are based in reality, or not. If they are not based in reality, then we can learn to dispute them, and change our thinking, which will consequently change our behaviors.
Good luck.
