Butterflight 49 Posted January 18, 2017 I'm so sorry! I know you must be extremely disappointed but please don't give up. Does the surgeon you were using have a nutritionist in-house? You can still receive support from them for weight loss and also attend the support meetings to discuss the struggles associated with losing weight.
