Surgery postponed i am devasted

The psychologist refused to sign off on me having surgery. I am devastated. I won't be going forward. I love life and wanted to get out of this prison that being fat has it me in.

My stress eating and me not wanting to tell my husbands family and my husband having a bigger problem withy weight than me all contributed to his decision.

I guess I am stuck in this prison.

So sorry to hear this. Were you given and options such as getting some pre-surgery counseling to deal with the issues before the psychologist would clear you?

Yes I was given the option but that costs money. And my primary physician said he was more concerned about my health than my mental status.

Can you say second opinion? Yeah that is what you should do. You don't have to submit this doctors eval. Find someone else.

I would get a second opinion
