Part of the surgeons requirements is that you attend at least one of their support group meetings before you go to surgery. This months topic was, "Love the Skin Your In! - Body Awareness. The same Shrink that I saw, (the one who didn't offer for me to lay down on the couch), gave the lecture. She is a bit eccentric. She dresses very free spirited and is her own person. She really was a very good speaker. She sure kept everyone's attention. She was so into her talk that she fell of of the stage! She landed on both feet.
She told us all that we had a food addiction, and reminded us that the surgery will change our physical body, but not our minds. We have all chosen "THE BONUS ROUND!" It is our opportunity... we need to make sure and do the right things. She also talked about Body Dysmorphic Disorder. It is seeing your body differently then it really is.
She had a few other good sayings that I will share:
"I use to live to eat, now I will need to eat to live."
"If you don't need it... don't eat it." (protein, vegetables, starch, fruit)
I believe that I have now full filled all of my requirements for the surgeon for sure. Tomorrow, I call and request that they submit to the insurance. They can then respond yes, or explain what else they will require. This takes forever!!!! I would like to get the date set...
