I am feeling scared and frustrated.
I am stressed about being stuck preop! I'm scared I'll be stuck getting bigger and bigger by the week as I've had my band removed, but haven't been given a date for sleeve yet.
I'm feeling frustrated and demoralised by gradually gaining weight, but I am not yet heavy enough to get the sleeve. My surgeon hasn't said "no", but he wants me to try nutritionist and other doctors first before having surgery.
I so want to get a chance to turn things around. If I could do this with diet and nutritionist I'd do it. But right now I just can't face yet another round of failed dieting.. not quite true, it's usually winning for a bit with a diet and then failing worse than before!
Right now I feel like I've failed. My band has failed and I've had it taken out but regained weight, which I am finding incredibly hard. I am waiting each day to get a sleeve date confirmed. I don't know whether to be more scared about not having a date for surgery, or if I will before scared of having surgery if I ever get a date.
Just needed to vent my frustration and feeling utterly demoralised.
