Coming out of the closet...LONG

I guess I am going to have to be the bad guy.  This is not meant to be a personal attack but I have read several of your post regarding the surgery and yourself failing.  Assuming that Dr. A did his part, maybe the other part of the puzzle really is you.  Have you sought counseling?  If you are not mentally prepared to succeed and mentally in the game you probably will fail.  Try some counseling.

May not have been meant as a personal attakc, but from where I am sitting, it sure feels like one.

I have had counseling off and on for years. I am a huge fan.

Yeah...good luck to you!

My response was not meant as an attack on you.  You asked for input from everyone on the forum and I put my two cents worth in.  If you don't like the answers then ask different questions. 

Take all of the physical issues out of the picture and your original post screams that your psychological status is not where it needs to be.  That is why I questioned whether or not you had and are continuing to receive counseling.

My mistake - I didn't know you were a licensed physcologist....much less that when a person is frustrated with good reason that they had mental issues.

Good thing to know...LMAO

Just cant argue with stupid. (hint: that was personal)

I was hesitant to even respond to your last post...but I did...so I will take stupid.

Not as I am stupid...but THAT I made a stupid decision.

In your copious free time...PLEASE go find someone else to pick on.

I am finished conversing with you.

As info - the correct saying is:

You can't fix stupid. Ron White...I believe

I believe you.  I think you are dealing with a metabolic or hormonal issue.  I think you have to keep a strict journal of what you are eating and how much and how much exercise you are getting. Then, I think you need to hit the doctor circuit.  You need to keep looking until you find a doctor that can figure out what is going on.  This is not normal, your body is breaking down somewhere and you need to find out where the problem lies.  I saw a documentary once about a women in the same situation as you.  It took her a long time to find a doctor that believed her enough to try to figure out what the problem was.  In the end, it was a very rare metabolic condition that could be treated.  I don't remember the name of it, but it was real.  I am so sorry you are going through this and I hope you have the energy and the courage to keep looking for the answer.

You are right Elina. I don't think I pushed the doctors hard enough. I am ready now. It has been long enough and it's time to find out what is up.

Thanks

I'm so sorry you are in this situation. I have been on this board for 5 years and I have seen this happen maybe 3 times, including once to my sleeve sister who was sleeved the same day as me by the same doctors. I KNOW that like you, she was following the plan, and her weight loss stopped at 50 lbs. and wouldn't move again. So I do know that it can happen.

Have you been thoroughly checked for any kind of metabolic disorder? Is a revision to a DS possible at all?

Again, I'm sorry...I do hear your pain and frustration...

 Hang in there stay on the boards dont isolate yourself you will get a lot of great information here.  I would visit the DS board as well and speak to the folks over there.  its possible that some of them had revisions and got the DS to get it going.

I hope that you will find answers my heart is with you!
