Guest guest Posted January 13, 2004 Report Share Posted January 13, 2004 Hi everyone. You all give me so much information and hope. I just want to say thanks first of all. I also refuse to watch Dr. Phill. I do not believe he has any real knowledge of our problem. I did watch the one program when he had his family members for show and tell. I think he just wants to sell his book and food products and are they ever high cost! Well that is not my reason for writing. My problem,...the doctor that did my psy eval, says I need therapy to deal with my reason for over eating. And he says I need to loose 10% of my body weight before surgery. My weight now is 261, so 10% would be 26 lbs. Have you folks been told the same? I really am new at this, so please give me feed back. A little background. As a child, I was a victim of sexual abuse. He thinks this is my reason for over eating. Yes, it has some to do with the problem. I have been through years of therapy and I still have an eating disorder. When he told me they would not approve the surgery until I went through therapy and lost 26 lbs, first I cried then I ate and gained 10 lbs in 2 weeks! Any information would be greatly appreciated. As a result of the abuse, I also have PTSD. I am no longer a victim, but a survivor, so I know I can survivor this also.
