I don't have any thoughts about what is best, just wanted to say it sounds very frustrating.
keep your eyes on your long-term goals and, yes, check out the DS surgery. my understanding is you might have to fight to get it but there are folks on the DS board who would help with that.
at least go check out the DS forum

once upon a time I had a group to talk about Binge Eating Disorder, and later one about Clean Eating.
PM me if you are interested in either of these.

Readiness to take the full consequences of our past acts, and to take responsibility for the well-being of others at the same time, is the very spirit of Step Nine. A casual apology, on the one hand, will rarely suffice in making amends to one we have harmed; a true change of attitude, in contrast, can do wonders to make up for past unkindnesses. If I've deprived anyone of any material thing, I'll acknowledge the debt and pay it as soon as I'm able. WILL I SWALLOW MY PRIDE AND MAKE THE FIRST OVERTURES TOWARD RECONCILIATION?
TODAY I PRAY
God, show me the best ways to make "direct amends." Sometimes simply admitting and unload my own simmering guilt. Other times restitution may take some creative thought. May I be wholly aware that I cannot take this Ninth Step unless I develop some caring, some real concern about how others feel, along with changes in my behavior.
TODAY I WILL REMEMBER
First I care, then I apologize.

I noticed that you said your were recently dx with BP and BPD and I wanted to invite you to check out the bipolar forums on about.com. They are pretty helpful.

I think your team are looking out for your best interests.
My question is why are you even persuing a RNY bypass after having the failure with the band when there is a procedure with much better long term results???
I know that if I had a band or a RNY I would eventually be a failure as I would regain the weight. I don't HAVE to have surgery to LOOSE weight my problem is KEEPING it off. Hence I have applied to have the DS.
But I'm just a newbie so I may not understand.

Hey Leslie -
My name is Sean and I am an alcoholic. It have been 16 years since I have had me last drink. I was an alcoholic and sober before I was legal!! I substituted food for my lack of alcohol which put me to morbid obesity. I have since kicked that and taken up guns!!! That has become my new passion though...
I saw that we are surgery twins, im just 2 years older! I had mine June 25 2007.
Keep it up!!!
