Anyone else out there feeling like they're just hanging in limbo??

I started the process to have WLS a year ago and was supposed to have had RNY in July. Instead, my surgeon decided that I was not ready to have the surgery and wanted me to wait. He was concerned over issues of binge-eating that I had discussed with the nutritionist. I see a therapist weekly and she didn't think I was ready either. I just feel like it's never going to happen and I'm getting so discouraged. I feel so alone b/c it seems like everyone else is getting their surgeries and losing weight, and I'm just stuck! I have checked to see about having surgery with a diff't surgeon but in both of the other major hospitals in my city, the bariatric surgeons are no longer taking new patients with my kind of insurance. My only choice is to stick with my original surgeon and hope I can prove to him I am ready for surgery. Anyone else out there been through a similar situation?? What did you do to convince your surgeon you were ready?? I know I can't be the only one denied surgery (temporarily I hope), but it sometimes feels that way and I would love to be able to talk to others who have experienced this.
