Help!! Competition or Threat!?!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone!

I am starting this thread because as I sit back and think back to the beginning of this year january 2007. I began a medically supervised diet. It took 3 months for results to begin showing. Once they did all kind of people starting wanting to know what are you doing...what diet, what exercise, what pills...etc...etc..etc.

After the 45 lbs lost mark....I started getting snickers from some women at work....more male attention than I even wanted to have since I am married....

Next I know it is November and I have gained all the weight plus 10 lbs. I began looking into WLS. Found lapband...and went to the seminar I am waiting to get scheduled for my first consultation.

But in the back of my mind I can't help but think that emotionally although this is what I want to be healthy a live

I don't know if I am ready mentally.

The snickering from other women, the whatever I don't like you look, the move over b*tc* look.....I don't need.

I guess I have not been thin enough long enough in my life to learn how to handle these situations/get used to the feeling.

I'm I the only 1?

:help:

Hi 4jin,

its sad but true, women can be so mean and catty. these women have their own issues, and it wont matter a bit if your thin or fat. its just best to stay clear of anyone who is negative. I always walk with my head up, shoulders tall. I feel good about myself and it shows. it shouldnt matter what the scale reads. good luck on your road to health

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
