Afraid i wont be "granted" a sleeve

Hello, my apologies... And little "ranty"

So this has been on my mind lately. I am coming up to my year plus wait list time and am almost there to meet with my surgeon. They have a lot of programs people hVe to do to be granted acceptance into being able to have their surgery. I am a full time nursing student, i work part time and i am with my husband during his chemotherapy, driving to and fro. I worry that because i did not do these classes 2 hours away that he will not even look at me. I fear that he may not think i am worthy of getting the surgery soon. Since my referral was made i gained 24 lbs last year, while yo yo dieting. My menses have been incredibly irregular and i fear i have pcos. I don't know how i can convince my doctor to let me have the surgery.

That's rough. My prayers for your husband and you, too.

Just present your case and hope for compassion. Don't give up!

You are under a tremendous amount of stress. I pray that your husband goes into remission soon. You need time for yourself, to focus. There is so much on your plate, your a full time student, your husband is ill and you're making a life changing decision for yourself. I'm sending you my best wishes.....

Thank you both for the kind words. I am being really strong considering, and his illness has confirmed that i really want to live my life too. I feel that my weight has trapped me so much, and like so many, a sleeve would really give both of us our life back. I fear that if i have to wait another year i will become so depressed. I still have so much life in me, i would hate for that life to get sucked out of me. After all, i am only 28.
