HI folks.This is my first post. I was taken into hospital last year and had my gastric band removed at the same time as my gall bladder . I am flying with no safety net. While I was in hospital all my vitals were checked. I was in for 3 weeks. They needed to prepare me to take out the band and gall bladder. The surgeon that fit the band was in England uk. I live in Scotland uk.
The band had fill in it and the surgeon thought it had been empty for two years or more. just didn't reach the sweet spot,ever. I ranged from not eating at all (one of my sore points ) to eating once a day. I couldn't keep much down.
Now I am 352 pounds and previously I was 403 pounds. The weight loss is recent since the band came out. Those 3 weeks saw me stay in my room. Paranoid and hoping for a gastric bypass. The dr cant take me in the NHS as the funding only covers diabetics. I am back on the hospital diet. It allows me to eat nutritious food. I have my groceries delivered. I am an addict. If it is not in the house. I can't eat it. I don't know what to do. Anger is my burden. I turn to food when I am not able to speak to a person that has hurt me. I let most things go but ive had 3 days of pushing my boundaries with food. An accident left me with 3 damaged discs in my spine. I walk with 2 canes or a walker to sit after 15 steps. I need to address a bad relationship with an x. The anger is eating away at me. He wont acknowledge my need to walk away. He doesn't take no. I have an injunction but he is cunning. I am going to go under. I live on my own and find it difficult to go out. I am on my own. In pain and cant exercise much. I find walking difficult. I know other dr's would operate but I spent all of 11,000 pounds on a gastric band. So more savings. Insurance doesn't cover bypass in this country and I wasted 11,000 pounds on a band years ago. I am frustrated and know I have limited choices. I hope someone understands. I want to deal with the anger and move on from being manipulated. Does anyone have insite to the not eating and the anger issues.Sorry for the pity party. sunshine 64.
