Oh wow. That must be devastating. What are your next steps? Is some other form of WLS an option?

That sucks, I'm sorry! Hopefully they have some other options for you.

I'm so sorry! I know you must be extremely disappointed but please don't give up. Does the surgeon you were using have a nutritionist in-house? You can still receive support from them for weight loss and also attend the support meetings to discuss the struggles associated with losing weight. ((Big hugs))

Ask about the gastric balloon. There are no incisions. My dad have bleeding issues but need to lose weight, and is looking into it.
