Exciting News

[Guest guest]

Although I've not yet phoned KPSSF to inquire as to what my next step

should be considering my significant weight gain since orientation, (I

feel like such a failure, and am very embarrassed by the weight gain),

I did go to KPSTK to see exactely how much I currently weigh. Imagine

my surprise to see that I do not weigh 450 lbs as previously thought,

but rather, 412!! That means that I need lose only 62 lbs to prepare

for surgery, not the 100 that I had originally thought. For some

reason, losing 62 lbs versus 100 is alot easier to swallow, (no pun

intended).

I am still unsure as to whether I should contact KPSSF to inform of

the weight gain, or if I should just wait until such time as I have

lost the 62 lbs, and then schedule the surgery. I will, of course,

begin going to the monthly meetings in SAC, as well as the support

group that is held at the KPSTK facility. In addition, I still plan to

attend, (beginning in August), the weekly Binge Eating/Overeaters

classes at KPSTK Mental Health department.

I just hope that I am doing the right thing by continuing on my own

instead of contacting KPSSF re the weight gain. Don't get me wrong; I

have every intention of telling the SSF physician of the weight gain,

I would just prefer to do it after all of the 62 lbs have been lost.

Any comments/suggestions from anyone?
