Surgery postponed i am devasted



Recommended Posts

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?

Get a second opinion, if you still want to be sleeved.

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.

I don't understand why you can't get a second opinion? Another Psychologist?

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
