WLS plans dashed

This group has been amazing and supportive in the week or so since I've been a member but fate has dealt me the cruelest of ironies. My WLS consultation with a surgeon was scheduled for next Monday. I told you guys in my initial post that I have a history of DVT and PE. This dates back to 2011, one catastrophic event that nearly ended my life. I haven't had one since and have been off blood thinners for three and half years. Today, after being in severe pain and noticing swelling in my other leg (not the one I had the original clot in), I found out that I once again have blood clot. WLS will not be an option for the foreseeable future and I'm on an emotional tailspin. Thank you all for you encouragement since I joined this group.

Wow...Sorry to hear, but optimistic that they will be able to disolve it...Glad they found it now, so no repocussions later..Try the apple cidar vinegar regiment...A lot of people are swearing by it...I got bad news too...My doctor called and said my eco was abnormal...I go to the cardiologist tomorrow...He has the last say...If I can't have it, I will do the apple cidar vinegar regiment as well...Best wishes to you...God bless us all...

Aw, hon. I'm sorry to hear it. Those darn clots have no say in your body!!! Believe that. My mom just dealt with a massive one in her lung and I can understand the grief. But let's believe all will be well hon. I'd encourage you to change your eating now, even though you won't be having wls. Change a few things now, they'll make a huge impact and difference over time. Get with a nutritionist if you can anyway. I speak blessings over you hon, please stay on. I'd love to hear how great you're doing anyhow. 😊

I am so sorry!!! But...now you can get it taken care of and then start making changes to your diet add exercise (if you can). Life sucks sometimes, KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE and KEEP ON KEEPING ON!! You are so much better off that it happened (if it had to happen) that it happened now instead of later after WLS. Use this time to get healthy and well. Good Luck

Hi my family doctor said my EKG came up abnormal during pre-surgery testing and had me go to a Cardiologist who did a new one and asked a couple of questions like can you walk up 2 flights of stairs without stopping and breathing real hard. The echo and EKG are different but the cardiologist cleared me on the spot. I pray that you get good results. This all happened the Thursday before my Monday surgery.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
