"Consequences of Waitlists"

I’m not sure on how to proceed or who is accountable for the dumpster fire that is my health and life!

Today I am so upset. I was told by my Bariatric Surgeon that the weight I have lost may be all that I will lose due to my current mobility and health issues. I feel that this is so wrong and unfair considering I started this Bariatric journey nearly 10 years ago. My “Urgent” Bariatric Surgery Request was downgraded without ever meeting me, I believe my own GP refused to advocate on my behalf. Despite me voicing my health concerns and the them getting me to follow their “Keto” option (all documented - with no success) only for my Blood Pressure increase dangerously and lead to having a Catastrophic Hemorrhagic Stroke.

At this time, I am to use my Osteo-arthritic Knees to exercise so I can lose more weight (despite being told it is more than likely not to happen) to get to the correct BMI so the Ortho Surgeon will perform the Total Knee Replacement on both of my knees. Also, I am to work through the chronic knee pain daily to re-learn to balance with the vertigo I now live with post stroke.

It difficult for me to hold the medical professionals I see in high regard with all these contradictions at play. I can associate with the 2026 Meme, “not my job!”.

I have been more than patient; I have followed instructions diligently and yet I must suffer daily what I believe are the consequences from the decisions of the people I sought Medical Guidance from.

I want my life back, I did everything right, I trusted them, I really don't know what to do!
