Hi, folks - my first post here with a scheduled surgery date of February 5th. What am I missing from my To-do list?
I’ve done so much research about this procedure that my head is in overload mode. I retired from a medical device corporation and worked with a surgeon who does bariatric surgery and did a bypass on a good friend of mine. I’ve seen firsthand the good and the not-so-good about the bypass and truly believe the sleeve procedure will be best for me. Most importantly, I think my head is in the right place - don’t believe this procedure will be a “magic pill” but the tool to catapult me to being healthy again. So much to live for - 7 grandkids that are in our lives on a regular basis - Hmmm, if we could have just skipped our three kids and gone straight to the grand babes! LOL.
Any thoughts and suggestions would be welcome. Not the least bit nervous (YET!) but ready to do it!!
