    Sunk in today when I signed the consents, paid the fee and made the appt for introductory meeting with nurse at hospital.
    One last thing to do and that is meet the anaethetist on Wed 8 May. Then I'm locked in.
    It sure is a roller coaster of emotions - I'm exhausted.....

    Thank you Delores! I usually look horrible in red but went to a Red Dress fundraiser party for heart disease & had to wear red. I think the cream colored jacket helped.
  12. Well I had my surgery appointment today. It went well. they keep trying to talk me into the bypass instead of the sleeve, mainly because of the diabetes. i think the bypass is a better "cure" for diabetes. But she said that the other issues, high blood pressure and cholesterol the sleeve will take care of that. I am guessing the diabetes will get better too or maybe go away too. (possitive thinking, right).

    I asked about the pre-op diet and she said because my BMI was so low that she just didn't want me to gain any weight. she also said I have about 75 pounds to lose and with the sleeve I would probably loss 50 to 60 pounds. I didn't want to argue with her because she is the expert, right? but I think more people have a better success rate than that.

    so now I wait for the insurance and the surgery date. I told her I had a vacation in Hawaii coming up the 5th of April so I would like to wait until after that, so late April or early May. She said that should work out fine.

    How did yours go?
  13. Absolutely.

surgery sometime in May

by Delores512 on 02-03-2013 at 06:37 PM
Hello! What a great place to have found. There is lots of information and I am getting even more jazzed up about having the surgery. I have type II diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol - yes that's all - that is plenty. I originally came to this site to see how folks were doing after the sleeve that had similar health issues. I have heard the sleeve is not as good as the bypass for diabetes, but I am beginning to believe there just isn't as much information/success about the sleeve
