Goodbye!!!!! I'm NOT coming back!!

I can't!! I had my consult today!! It was my last chance at surgery!! I will NOT be having surgery!! Because of all 3 of the other surgeries, It has left my stomach with a depleted blood supply and should I have another WLS, the pouch will die from lack of blood and I will die!! This IS NOT an option!! So it is the diet mill for me!! Please understand that I don't feel I can be of any support to others and I just can't face hearing about all the successes when I have lost that option, altogether!! I love you all and I wish you the greatest of luck on your journeys!! Goodbye!! Patty

Patty, I am SO SO sorry to hear of your disappoint. We were all hoping for good news about this option for you. I do not know what to say to you but I am truly sorry and hope that whatever life holds for you is positive and healthy! If you decide never to come back to AMOS, you will be missed but thank you for all of the support that you gave! Sincerely, Leigh Ann

i'm so sorry you having a hard time. because of the blood flow and other surgeries that you have had , have you thought about the lap band instead of a rny? the band wouldn't meaning any cutting at all on your stomach. just a thought. i wish you the best of luck.

I am so sorry to hear your news! You will still be in our thoughts and prayers! Love, Ivy

Patty: I am 2 weeks post-op tomorrow. I am sorry you feel you have been deprived of the surgery. But, know in your heart that it is your path to not be put in a position that could jeopardize any health you have with another surgery. I have thought in my mind sometimes why have I done this. But, I guess it has been the path mapped out for me. I hope later I will improve as I can see progress, but if it makes you feel any better, I still feel like a fat toad! I know you can do this. I know the roller coaster of dieting. But, let me tell you, not eating for the past two weeks and one more to go is just the pits. I would give anything right now just to be able to CHEW something! Just look at all the possible down sides... Plus, there ARE people who have found the determination to lose the weight successfully without surgery. We will none never be models. The best we can do is search out a plan to make our lives healthier. Good luck! I will say a little prayer for you. God Bless! Marsha
