Frustrated & back on track

 Hi Everyone,

I used to be a regular here...did wonderfully.  Over the past year, and many life changes, I have become that person I swore I wouldn't be and gotten lazy and put weight back on....I could give you all the reasons but they don't really matter.

I am coming up on my 3 year surgiversary and I would like to get the 20 lbs. I gained off.  I have moved away from my surgeon and do not have ANY support in my new city as the programs here won't allow me to attend support since they did not do my surgery 

So I hope to find the support I need here to get back on track...as you all were wonderful before.

Thanks!

Welcome back Pamela.  If we can help you, just let us know!!  Good luck. 

Maintenance is a lot harder to me too!!  I know I have to stay connected here because I have no support group anywhere near me either.

Hi...welcome back.  We had surgery not too many months apart.  This is my lifeline for support.  You will get those pounds off in no time.

Hey Pamela - good to ssee you back!

I too lived where the local bariatric office wouldn't give me support, since I didn't have my surgery there - know how that is.  The way my Dr put it to me was - you have an emergency - go to the emergency room and they CAN'T deny you treatment...

but - that doesn't take care of all the inbetween times.

Glad you're back - I've hung around, but did drop off and on for a bit there - I too am no longer the model for WLS... but am trying to get back there.

Good for you in coming back. This is a reality of WLS and I really think we can help each other
by being honest and reaching out. You still have your tool and you can get this weight off.

Good luck!

Blessings to you,

Welcome back too Pamela, I too have been missing in action for quite some time. I'm sure with all the great support network from this site you will be back on track in no time.

Cheers from Karin (in Oz)
