I've been blogging, but not here on OH, please stop in and comment.  I will try to do more blogging here, especially since I found out Friday I'm approved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I get my surgery date next week.

So I had my first appt with Dr Enochs Office on Tuesday.  It was great.  I went to the wrong office, thought I was 30 minutes late, but got to the right office on time.  Saw the first nurse who took my weight, (OMG! I am the heaviest I've ever been, ever!), blood pressure, etc.  Then saw the Nurse Practitioner, and finally a Bariatric Coordinator.  They all answered questions and explained what was going to happen next.  They feel good about me getting approved, and surgery being scheduled sometime in June.  Its Friday and I have all test and evals scheduled for next week except psych.  Does anyone have suggestions for a person that might be available?  I need to have everything set within the next week, mid week after at the latest.
Dr. Enoch's office gives a book that walks you through pre/post surgery.  I've been reading about the foods that may be a problem afterwards and I can see now that I better find ways to deal with my "issues".  A friend recommend "When Food is Love" by Geneen Roth and thats been VERY enlightening for me.  I also joined a WLS meet-up group.  If anyone has other suggestions about how they dealt with issues connected to eating let me know.
