Yo-Yo Syndrome

My weight loss journey is such a roller coaster! Is this normal? I haven't had to deal with insurance companies or major health issues because I'm self-pay & active. I've had such highs & lows since I began this "journey," I'm wondering if it's all worth it. I have a PCP & a Cardiologist who are both non-supportive of WLS in general although they both agreed to sign referrals. It took 3 expensive appointments EACH to get the referrals & numerous phone calls to them to FAX their info to my WLS surgeon. I had blood work labs that needed to be referred to a Hematologist & I worried about having Leukemia for 3 weeks because that was the soonest appointment I could get. I finally got an order from my WLS surgeon for a new CBC & everything came back perfect. Up & down, up & down...... Today I faced a new challenge (financial) which I don't wish to elaborate on, but let's say it may completely cancel my surgery for good! My scheduled surgery date is May 16 & I've been so psyched about it, only to be knocked down AGAIN! This isn't normal, right? I mean should I be experiencing all this negative input unless this surgery is not meant to be for me? NancyT

I know where your coming from and i think it's prob for a reason ....to make you truely ready and gracious for the tool and to use it properly atleast that's how i look at it i mean would we appreciate it and do well with it if we did not have to fight to make it? if it was just that easy people wouldn't appreciate what a second chance at life it may be Good luck i hope all turns out to make you happy
