Back. And Desperate
Oct 19, 2016
So... a lot can change in a few years... My mother died, then my daughter died and basically I ate through the stress and grief. My band was too loose and I didn't want to tighten it. Oh and we moved and I had to handle my mother's estate and all while working... Did I mention I developed severe back and sciatica problems and finally this summer diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
My surgeon yesterday told me... the diabetes is a game changer... i have to get back on track or possibly even have a new surgery... Gastric sleeve. So here I am back.. Yearning for the good old days when my band was perfect and I had lost 130 pounds -- i have gained back 100. Sigh.
I have to do something and I feel so lost. So I am going to try to put more energy into using my band correctly. I had a fill yesterday... and we will see if I need another one soon or not. I do know this... On these boards are others like me who have been "blessed" with this weight/food issue. So here I am.
