New and Struggling with Emotion



Recommended Posts

Hello to everyone

new 2 this forum, SAGB nov 07 in Belgium, slow weight loss but i guess its because i do not have much in the band -only bread is difficult. I am finding it very difficult with coming to terms with how i feel ie: to go to such measures to loose weight feel such a failure although i know i have not/could not loose weight previously on a long term basis, but it does not make up for the feelings i have. Hopefully this is only a stumbling block. Lots to read through and hopefully i will receive some responses.

many thanks..look forward 2 chattin...:welldoneclap:

Hang, in there. When did you get banded, and what type of success have you had. Remember day by day is the journey. In order to have a different result, we can't continue to do the same things.

Some days are harder than others and we must endure.

I would bet both. Talk to your doctor about how you are feeling and he can probably help you through it. You have done a great job losing 32 pounds so far! Don't lose faith in your tool now or let your head get the best of you! We all go through our ups and downs in this process. It's natural and does get better eventaully from what I have read.

      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.
