mumoftwo 34 Posted January 12, 2014 So this Thursday is my surgery day. I had only told my husband and my parents up until now. I had my band removed 8 weeks ago, and was ashamed to tell his family, I couldn't handle them judging me. So today I wrote out what seemed like and easy text message, but wasn't... It took all my will to say that I am embarrassed of my weight, my failure with band. I'm ashamed I can't do this on my own. Talk about a moment of reflection, I prey that I don't fail at this one.

mistysj 1,940 Posted January 12, 2014 You have nothing to be ashamed of. I am proud of you and I don't even know you. It takes courage to keep working to make yourself more healthy. There is a whole forum here for people with band to sleeve revisions. I know you will find even more support there. http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/394-band-to-gastric-sleeve-revisions/ All the best for your surgery. 2 gottalose100 and Ree reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mumoftwo 34 Posted January 12, 2014 Than you. I guess I had never had to say it out aloud before. That I failed. It was confronting. I know I am doing it for the right reasons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
feedyoureye 3,087 Posted January 13, 2014 Some people fail the band, others the band fails them... you are not a failure, you are a work in progress! Just like the rest of us. 1 mistysj reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
