My regular appt with my surgeon is Tuesday, should I go?

I have gained a few pounds, and am literally scared to death to go see him. What if he doesnt want to do another fill until I lose weight? What if he gives me the "look"?

I have failed so bad at this. Should I reschedule and wait a couple of weeks to see if I can turn this around or just face it? I have no courage or self confidence...Geeezzz, Im an idiot...ha ha

Help, what should I do?

Say you dont go to the doc, and put it off a few weeks, then you gain a few more pounds, and put it off again, only to gain more....see where I'm going with this?? Grab the bull by the horns, pull yourself up by your boot straps (assuming you wear boots!!) and get into the doc before the vicious cycle starts!! You deserve this!!! :girl_hug:

The fact that you gained weight means you need a fill. Go to the doctor!

Yeh, that's what I was thinking.. go to the MD today, get your fill... and then maybe research for a new MD. Your doctor should be compassionate. I'm sorry that you feel the way you do. Hey, are there other doctors at his practice that you would prefer to see? Or is he the only one there?

your band doesn't work unless you use it and if you're gaining then you're not getting enough restriction! Get in there and get a fill. Trust me, your doctor has seen more patients then just you that gained a few pounds. Don't be scared! It's all a part of the process.

Good luck!

I would definitely buckle up and go see your surgeon to get back on the right track. We are all human. It will be okay.

I have to admit that once I did actually re-schedule and dedicate myself to getting back on plan. But only once.

If you have gained weight because you need another fill, it just doesn't make any sense to not go in and get one.

My Doc has given me "the look" and I survived to tell the tale.

Hugs!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
