ASHAMED

monalisa,
I went to the information evening given by Drs Pohl and Giovanni. I clearly remember them mentioning how much they wanted to help patients who are struggling as you are. Take courage!
After all, they are very aware that depression after surgery is common. This is a HUGE change!
Good luck sister.

No Drs don't call.....particularly the busy ones. Do you have any idea how happy they will be that you aren't 'lost to followup'! Morbid Obesity isn't a simple illness. It's a syndrome with lots of factors and the psychological ones are the hardest to tackle. You're doing that work.......so let go of the shame.......and move forward now...because you are ready.

It's never too late to start over. Make that appointment..talk to your Doctor and make a plan. Good luck! You can do it!! -Nikki

Doctors see this and other issues all the time.  He probably won't be surprised.  He will be happy to see you.  He wants you to be successful and wants to help you get there.
Call the surgeon.  They will be thrilled you are now ready to start.

Erin,

Should your surgeon's office be calling you? Maybe, but remember, they have tons of other patients to take care of. So it's your turn to call them, tell them what's been going on, and schedule a fill appt. Try to get past the embarrassment. These are bariatric professionals, they already know you have an eating problem, and I'l bet you're not the first struggling patient they've seen.

And, come visit the band forum some time. Lots of support and knowledge for bandsters there!

Good luck,
Jean

I am so glad you went to therapy. 
As for the Dr's office, its not that they dont care, but all of this is up to you not them.  When you take that brave step and make that phone call for the appt, I am sure the person on the other end will be very nice to you.  Then, when you show up, another brave step, you will step into the waiting room full of people going about their business and they have no idea what you are thinking and feeling.  That is all you, not them.  I am sure your dr. will wonder what happened, but after a nice chat, you will be on your way.  How wonderful your journey will be!  Be brave, its only fear of the unknown that holds us back and afterwards we say "wow, I was afraid for nothing!"

WoW I am overwelmed with all of your well wishes!! Thank You all I will be calling to set up my appt.
Thank you again!!!!
