So scared and worried/HELP!!!!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello all,

I've done a terrible thing and i'm so scared to go back to the Dr. I have an 8 year old daughter. She has a serious heart condition called Hypoplastic Left Heart has had 3 open heart surgeries. The stress with all that led me to the weight i was. (252) Also her father passed away while i was pregnant. :thumbup: So i've done this alone without him. I am a stress eater.

Well she was hopitalized on Dec 26th with some lung issues and stayed 9 days. Well we all know how hard it is to get good food while in the hospital. My nerves got the best of me on day 4 when they were talking about surgery. Long story short i've gained 7 lbs back.:)

I go back for another fill on the 13th. What will he think of me what will happen? Will i have to loose that weight before he fills me agin? I'm so scared to go in there i've thought about canceling the appointment. I'm so embarassed to show my face.:smile2:

Help what should i do?

Hi:

Please don't cancel your appointment. Your doctor should be understanding if you've been under that kind of stress and if he doesn't, go find another doctor. Don't be afraid to tell him about the circumstances and tell him that you want to refocus on your band now that you're past the chaos. It sounds like your daughter is out of the hospital. Now it's time to focus on getting back on track. I'm guessing that you're not at your sweet spot yet, so please go get that fill and go back to doing things the bandster way.

I hope life gets easier for you.

I agree with Sue.......DO NOT CANCEL your appt. Explain the situation to your Doc. He will understand.

You definitely need a fill and it will help you get on track. Eat slow and chew, chew chew........

Good luck with the LP and your daughter's illness.

actually, you are paying him, so you dont need to explain, if you were perfect, you wouldnt need the band in the first place. go into this confident and expecting him to help you with a fill.

you will get what you need, just be strong. Glad to hear all is ok now.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
