hello i need some help i don't know what to do

so i was so ready to get this surgery and i went to a couple apointments only needed a couple more but when i went to the psycologist she told me since i am a compulsive eater and i have anxiety that she thinks i need to work on my mind some but she said she wont deny me for the surgery

so for the past week in a half i been eating less and did manage to lose 6 pounds but i keep feeling like i want to binge cause im so starving and yes i am eating i eat probally 1700 calories a day and im working out im just soo hungry i hate it and i feel like if i don't get this surgery im going to be right where i am next year sitting here still big wishing i had it cause i need it to help me with my hunger

but i also did something stupid and didnt call to calcel my appointments i just never showed up and i think the nutritionist was pretty mad cause she left me a message but i was soo tired and over slept to call in

so what should i do ? should i still pursue it i really want to cause its not that i want to binge but i want to eat cause im starving and i know if i keep on this im only going to end up bingeing and that is not what i want i need something that will make me feel full

im really confused right now

Only you know what is really right for you. I would suggest you get the band as it will be a tool to help you with your hunger, not feel so hungry and make you feel full faster when you are eating. From the sounds of it, these are all things you need help with. If you're having anxiety that causes you to eat, you would do well with a tool that helps you stop. Yes most of this is a mental battle, but in the meantime, you'll have some backup while you win that mental fight. Reschedule and go back in.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
