I think this forum needs a better name. You?

I'm not sure "Failed WLS" is appropriate -- what constitutes failure -- and I think more would post if it didn't seem so negative... scary.

Thoughts?

Maybe if a question mark was put after the name because alot of folks who come in here have not failed but need more support.  There are those who come in here seriously feel they have and need more support.  And there are others whose surgery has failed them.  It's up to the group creater, of course.

I agree but don't have any ideas... helpful huh?

I had a surgery that failed me, I did not fail the surgery.  I think a lot of people have surgeries that fail them, not the other way around. 

Just my $.02.

That's what I'm thinking.

I think there are a bunch of people out there floating around the forums that have had a surgery fail THEM, and not because they simply eat too much.

It is sooo true about proportion, I can not eat nearly as much as I did before surgery, but I can still choose the wrong things and graze all day on them very negative effect on the scales. I am soooo discouraged to have gone so far, but find the old demons and pounds finding their way back. I am ashamed and feel helpless.

Hi,

You are not alone.  This happens all the time and it isn't hopeless.   Get some support.  I think this is a major key in success.  We need it.  Those old demons need to be dealt with in all of us.  Do you have a good support group near you?  Sometimes that isn't enough though.  I get frustrated sometimes myself and I give support.  I realized I need it too.  Huuugzzzz

I think your $.02 is worth a lot in here.  Thanks for posting.
