I went to have WLS on 10-21-09 but when i woke up i was told i didn't have my RNY. I was so devastated and depressed. I did have a hernia repaired and a liver biopsy. They say that my liver is so disease from being over weight. My Dr. says he will not be doing the surgery on me ever. So now waiting for referral to liver specialist to see what is my next step. So for right now i have to try to loose weight on my own. And i am looking here for some support and new friends.

Dear Patsy:
I know it is devastating for you not to have your WLS, as you wanted. But there is another wonderful way to lose weight. Try going to Overeaters Anonymous meetings, and work the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, as adapted for OA. There are groups that work them this way called Back to Basics, and once you get into recovery, you will find that you can lose weight easily, without trying, by being abstinent. Please try this way, Patsy, and you won't regret it! I'm doing that, now, and I crave only healthy foods! At my heaviest, I was 306 pounds, and now, I am 242!
Your friend,

I am sorry for your bad news. Post this on the California board, Diane C went through this and they did eventually do her surgery. She is a great person and is so helpful. She will probably give you some great advice!

Patsy ... this is awful. I'm so sorry to hear this news. I'm speechless. I wish I did have some advise for you, ... like another means to get to where you wanna be but, I don't. Sorry. But, I see that others have suggested to post this on the Board ... and check with Diane C. I say go for that. Diane C is such a nice lady. I know anything and everything could help.
Don't give up hope. Just be patient. You will weather this storm also. My prayers are with you.
