These are trying times, indeed, My wife and I recently learned that due to a closure at her place of business, we will be relocating out of state the day after Christmas. This leaves both of us in a peculiar predicament in that we will find ourselves without our bariatric surgeon - a thought that finds us somewhat frustrated.
We have come so far in such a short period of time. To no longer have that level of support is on some levels concerning, however, provides for each of us the added strength and determination to see our weight loss journey through.
While we have considered looking into another surgeon when we are relocated for follow-ups, we realize that every surgeon is different and that their processes and procedures differ widely. Knowing this, we have decided to lean on one another for moral, emotional, and dietary support (something we have been doing all along). The level of accountability will be there as well. The difference being that we will no longer be held accountable by Dr. Arnold and his staff.
This will be a trying time for us considering everything that will be taking place, but I have no doubt that we can continue to push forward and reach our goal weights. We just need to be resilient and use this time to re-evaluate our needs and adjust accordingly.
