annabelle 76 Posted July 26, 2013 Hi All I started my journey 12mts ago, last January I was put on the 6mts weight loss program, 3mts was the milk only diet. that all finished 2 weeks ago & on the last day I had gained 2kg, my consultant was angry but I explained and asked him to look at my legs as I suffered with odema, He said do you think your ready for this operation I said yes more than ready, he said I'll see how you are in 6wks, the week before he said he was prioritizing me for my operation then everything changed, yesterday I heard that they were dropping me from the program, now they haven't told me myself but another person going to them was told that they can now push her up the ladder as they were dropping the lady that had regained in the last group, this person hasent done any the weight loss program, but has all the other test done, im seeing the physiologist on the 23th of august this is the last of my pr-op test to be done, ive sent an e-mail to my consultant to let him know the date as he asked me to let him know, I'm so angry that I could loose this operation over a 2kg gain, Ive tried ringing the co-ordinator who I get on well with but she hasent returned any of my calls, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vegasneon 181 Posted July 26, 2013 So sorry you are having this issue, how disappointing. Its never made sense to me that people have to lose weight to have the surgery. I see you lost 46 lbs in a year? That should be considered great for someone that hasn't had surgery yet! Keep fighting for it! Good Luck. 1 annabelle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takingcontrol 467 Posted July 26, 2013 I'm sorry too! I think it's ridiculous...if we could loose weight on our own, we wouldn't NEED the surgery!! I'm glad I wasn't required to try! Heck...I couldn't have even survived to liquid diet the week before surgery most sleeves were required to do! Good luck & keep fighting! 1 annabelle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
