I FEEL AS IF I AM JUST HANGING AND WAITING

Ok, my surgery for the lapband was not successful. Dr. Nadzam took me off a liquid diet and put me on a solid protein and veggie diet. I will go back to see him in about a month. The good thing is that I am losing and this should shrink my liver to make the surgery possible. I look down at my belly and see the scars . but it is a terrible feeling to know there is no lapband there. I do have a trmendous amount of faith in Dr. Nadzam...............but this feeling of waiting is driving me nuts! Anyone else ever feel this way?

Marianne....everyone has to wait...I know that isn't what you want to hear....but its true....I haven't had surgery yet....haven't even met the dr. yet.....don't worry, you will get there....all of my life I have had to wait for things....really....things have been pushed back for different reasons...I just expect it now....keep on plugging along...what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger.....you will make it through...when it gets tough ...send me an email...and I will try to help you along....

Waiting is so difficult, but I feel things happen for a reason. Your time will come. Just remember all the weight you lose now will make things easier the next time. I had to wait for my surgery, but for a different reason. I had to wait 6 months after I already was scheduled and waiting for the surgery(no show by the surgeon) I changed doctors and hospitals after that and had to go through additional visits & testing required by my new doctor and finally was scheduled for surgery which I had last April. It was hard to wait but I felt so ready and motivated by that time. Things went along great for me then and I am sure that things will for you too. It will be worth the wait. Hang in there
