Hi All I started my journey 12mts ago, last January I was put on the 6mts weight loss program, 3mts was the milk only diet. that all finished 2 weeks ago & on the last day I had gained 2kg, my consultant was angry but I explained and asked him to look at my legs as I suffered with odema, He said do you think your ready for this operation I said yes more than ready, he said I'll see how you are in 6wks, the week before he said he was prioritizing me for my operation then everything changed, yesterday I heard that they were dropping me from the program, now they haven't told me myself but another person going to them was told that they can now push her up the ladder as they were dropping the lady that had regained in the last group, this person hasent done any the weight loss program, but has all the other test done, im seeing the physiologist on the 23th of august this is the last of my pr-op test to be done, ive sent an e-mail to my consultant to let him know the date as he asked me to let him know, I'm so angry that I could loose this operation over a 2kg gain, Ive tried ringing

the co-ordinator who I get on well with but she hasent returned any of my calls,

So sorry you are having this issue, how disappointing.

Its never made sense to me that people have to lose weight to have the surgery.

I see you lost 46 lbs in a year? That should be considered great for someone that hasn't had surgery yet!

Keep fighting for it! Good Luck.

I'm sorry too! I think it's ridiculous...if we could loose weight on our own, we wouldn't NEED the surgery!! I'm glad I wasn't required to try! Heck...I couldn't have even survived to liquid diet the week before surgery most sleeves were required to do! Good luck & keep fighting!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
