So in June I start the process I weighed 565 over the last 6 months I've gotten down to 490. Did a 4 week liquid diet, surgery was yesterday, they got in there and could not complete surgery. Feel like giving up. I want this but don't know if I can do it anymore.

Awwww AngiD, I'm sorry. What happened, why couldn't they complete it?

Don't give up! You have already done great - over 70 lbs - wow! I can appreciate you are disappointed that they couldn't do the surgery. Did they say why? Are they going to try again?

I am so sorry - what happened that they couldn't complete the surgery? It's not time to give up, 75lbs is an amazing achievement ...

Sending you hugs!

Poor you! I lived in fear of this (I think we all do!) Thinking of you and hoping for a better outcome next time. But seriously, you've done so well thus far...

they could not get my abdomen extended enough to see the stomach, and with my weight it was to dangerous to open.

You have done so well on your weight loss so far..do they think of you lose a bit more they can try it again?

yes, my doctor don't want me to give up I'm just really disappointed at the moment.

I understand the disappointment.. I know what's it like to work hard at something only to have a roadblock thrown in your way.

There are many days when I feel like I'm swimming against the current. And well, it gets tiring....

Take your day and feel sad, you have good reason.

But don't give up! Like I said, you have done so well getting that weight off, keep doing what you are doing diet and exercise wise. Be strong, fight the feeling of defeat and let them try (and succeed I'm sure) again.

You have every reason to feel disappointed. But, you have done so AMAZINGLY well on your own leading up to this.

As much as it hurts; head down, grit your teeth and attack this monster.

You can do it.

Slay this dragon and you'll soon be in for round two and this time, it will happen for you.

My thoughts are with you x
