I went there four years ago for two weeks and had to pay $14,000 out of pocket before getting kicked out due to lack of insurance/funds. All this despite being medically unstable and at a lower weight than when I entered. <br /><br />Dr. S is amazing and even though I just finished making my last payment (four years later), I struggle just as much as I did then, so feel the money was wasted. I have no doubt if I was able to use him and his resources for an extended period of time that I would be able to gain and kick this crap once and for all. <br /><br />However, that's not possible, so all 90lbs of me has to do it alone. I find your honesty refreshing and hope you do take advantage of the wealth of services at your disposal. <br /><br />You're in my thoughts!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6087514598714132464.post-67495260704200354452010-04-11T09:52:40.160-04:002010-04-11T09:52:40.160-04:00I hope you get to Renfrew soon- you have suffered ...I hope you get to Renfrew soon- you have suffered so long and deserve to be free!

Last night I was in adoration and had to spend a good 45 mins. reminding myself: God doesn't make mistakes. Once I got that down the struggle became to connect that statement to myself: I am not a mistake. <br /><br />You are so blessed to have such a wonderful doctor who is clearly invested in your recovery. I know you have the strength to do it and I'm so glad you are going to Renfrew in May.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
