WLS this month!
Congratulations! I just found this website and registered. Happy I am the first to send congrats! This all started for me last week. Waiting on insurance for surgery date. I don't know much or enough about all this. Have been searching the internet. Do you mind sharing the process so far for you? Thanks.
This all started last September when I was diagnosed with atrial fibulations due to an enlarged left atria. Too many years with OSA. I saw a cardiologist and am being treated. Part of the discussion is weight reduction starting at 356 lbs and due to co-morbidities of family history diabetes, heart issues, and sleep apnea I was fast tracked. Saw the surgeon Early June, did some counciling and saw him again last Thursday. They decided then that I should have the WLS this month. I am on a restricted diet for the next two weeks (1200 calories), liquids for 8 days after that with clear liquids only on the last day. I feel totally unprepared. I am reading everything I can about recovery and how to proceed afterward. Reading these forums bring up new questions I had not yet considered. A good resource.
