Hello, my name is Rachie & I am an over-weight mother of 4, ready to have gastric bypass.
It took me many failed attemps at losing weight on my own to realize this is definitely the way I need to go to be a healthier me & momma to my babies. I have been on Adipex, every diet pill, garcenia crap, formula 4, Herbalife, you name it! I just stopped eating for months one time. I lost some weight, but am at a loss.
I'm scared though that my doctor will refuse to do my surgery because I am on a methadone maintenance therapy. I live with extreme pain drom being hit by a car as a child. I had to be in high amounts of pain meds & I just couldn't do it anymore.
Has anyone ever heard of or known someone who was on methadone & had tge gastric bypass? Do you think I could be denied because of it? If i lose the weight, maybe I can finally get off the methadone. This cycle is viscuous. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.. with my appointment & class coming up on September 24th 2019, but I'm so scared that, that light is going to be snuffed out, because of this.
Any help yinz can give would be greatly appreciated.
