I am so depressed

I went though the weight loss class at UMC that they are making everyone go though and passed and done EVERYTHING. There was a woman there that had to go throgh EXTRA counseling about it and she just e-mailed me and told me she got a date to meet with Dr. S for surgury and I havn't How can that be? I am losing alot of faith here. I just don't know what else to do. I am at my wits end here. Well Thanks for listening. Joyce

Joyce, I am so sorry this is happening to you... I know you have waited a long time and it can be very discouraging when people are passing you by and having the surgery before you. Please don't give up, this will happen for you! Call Dr. Salameh's nurse and just ask them what the status is... tell them that you are getting discouraged and see what they say. Email me if you need to talk..... Marci

Hey guys, Now that I am not crying let me send this post again and kinda explain that jumbled mess that I typed. I had to go through a class at the UMC medical mall called "Healthy Weight for Life" (it was a new requirement for surgury). I passed the class and went on to my medical doctor appointment. THE ONLY THING that they found wrong was my B12 was to low but I started taking shots and I NEVER heard anything else from them. Now this other lady (that I went through the "Healthy Weight for Life class with) didn't even get though the class because they say that she needed extra nutritional classes. Well she sent me an e-mail today saying that she has an appointment with Dr. S about surgury. And I just don't understand this. I have waited so long. And I have watched people that have been right there with me come up and pass me. I don't understand. I know that I shouldn't be feeling this way I guess but I do. I mean I feel like if I don't get this I don't know how much longer I will be around Please pray for me I need it. I am really down right now. I think I am at my lowest. It seems I get my hopes up and then boom let down again. Ok so enough with my problems. Thanks for listening it helps just knowing you guys are in my corner. Love you all Joyce

It can get so discouraging watching others go ahead of you. But hold your head up and keep the faith and your time will come. You just bug the stew out of those people and don't let them forget who Joyce is. And just know you can come on here anytime you want and vent or cry or whatever. We are here for you and will always listen and try to help. Sending lots of hugs your way, Melissa Taylor

Joyce, i know what you mean girl...i'm in the same boat!...just seems i'm not destined to have this surgery....i have changed doctors though and HOPEFULLY it's gonna be better.....i'll keep you in my prayers that things will progress quickly....we can't give up!.....one day at at time..... Take care! LORI

Joyce, Don't let it get you down. Your time will come. Like Melissa said, call them and bug them at least weekly if not daily until they finally give you your date. Don't let them forget who you are. Best of luck! We are all keeping our fingers crossed for you! It was great to meet you and Christina this weekend. Rhonda

Joyce; I haven't heard of that class. I have finally got Jeannie to get my stuff together and I am going to a pulmonligst? for testing for sleep apnea?. It has been a real struggle for me also. I wonder if I will have to take that class????? Steph

Joyce, Keep the Faith! I know that it's easier for me to say since I have already had my surgery. But you will get there. If you ever need to talk, pls get my info from the post that I posted on the other message about the address's. Love ya girl & I'm here for ya (and we dont live that far from one another) Jo

Steph, Joyce is having to go through the class cause that is a requirment at UMC. But Dr C doesnt have that requirment love ya, Jo

Hey Joyce, I am so sorry for you. I know this is hard to digest but you gotta know that it will happen for you when the time is right. It is so hard to wait patiently for something you want so bad. I know that is not comforting at all but your turn will come. I Know it will. Keep your chin up and don't get depressed. It will work out.
