Surgery postponed i am devasted



Recommended Posts

The psychologist refused to sign off on me having surgery. I am devastated. I won't be going forward. I love life and wanted to get out of this prison that being fat has it me in.

My stress eating and me not wanting to tell my husbands family and my husband having a bigger problem withy weight than me all contributed to his decision.

I guess I am stuck in this prison.

So sorry to hear this. Were you given and options such as getting some pre-surgery counseling to deal with the issues before the psychologist would clear you?

Get a second opinion, if you still want to be sleeved.

Yes I was given the option but that costs money. And my primary physician said he was more concerned about my health than my mental status.

I don't understand why you can't get a second opinion? Another Psychologist?

Can you say second opinion? Yeah that is what you should do. You don't have to submit this doctors eval. Find someone else.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
