Do NOT feel badly about ranting here. You need the support. Also, I think people considering this surgery need to hear all experiences, not just good ones. This surgery is a major risk. I do want to point out that 5'3" is not MO (which is a 40BMI), nor does it even qualify with my i nsurance or surgeon as a BMI that qualifies with accompanying health (39 BMI). Maybe that was a typo? Or maybe requirements were different that many years ago. But it makes me wonder about the original surgeon. I sincerely hope things improve for you. It just sounds so miserable.
Many on here have expereinced similar things. They will have some great advice on how to get in your protein and calories.....because 500 is not good. Stick around and feel free to rant.....and hang in there!
