I am probably going to go into a 30 day program next week - I have relapsed  due to memories of a sexual abuse when I was an adolescent resurfacing and this is not the 1st time - I normally just do a 3 day detox and go home - and that clearly is not enough.
I know I need to go, but not sure how I can deal w/ being away from my husband, my children, and my 4 legged children that long.
If anyone here has done it - tell me the secrets - besides keeping in mind that I am going to come home a better wife and mother.

wednesday am - how's it going so far?

one day til thursday....

Did any of you experience an increase in depression before your surgery?  I had my depression under control due to wellbutrin and regular exercise.  I kind of hit rock bottom, weight wise (or I guess what I could tolerate).  That is when I started researching wls and had my consult with the surgeon.  Right now, I am waiting on insurance approval.  I have been in such a funk the last couple of weeks, I hardly leave my house.  I feel like I am on hold waiting for the insurance.  I haven't been exercising which has greatly contributed to the increase in my depression.  I feel like I have fallen so far in just a few months.  Last november, I was walking the susan g komen 3day (60miles in three days) Last year, I walked over 800 miles training...and now I am having trouble (mentally) walking the dog around the block.  I have become so withdrawn and avoid any situation out of my comfort zone.

I don't know that I am looking for any answers in particular.  I think that I am just trying to publically acknowledge these feelings and pull myself up by the bootstraps...

I don't know what you should do but I feel for you. anxiety is awful.
