Well...here we go again! Revision Surgery!

Dec 06, 2016

It's been a few months since I've posted.  I was in research mode, thinking about all my options.  Should I do a revision, could I repair the slip, should I do the surgery home, or Mexico, how will I pay for it?  It took me a few months to figure it all out.  I ended opting to have surgery in Mexico.  This isn't my first time travelling internationally for medical care, so the travel part is not my biggest concern.  I am more worried about after care and wether or not all will go well.  I suppose I would be equally nervous no matter where I opt to have it.  So, after considering several things, I opted for Cancun over Tijauna.  Coming from the east coast it made financial sense to go to Cancun.  Plus I wanted a hospital with an ICU in case of an emergency, and not a clinic.  So...lap-band revision to gastric sleeve it is.  I also am having my gallbladder removed since I've been having issues with it.  I will have surgery with Dr. Verboonen in Jan 2017.  Deposit is paid, tickets purchased, hotel booked.  My husband will be accompanying me.  

The anxiety is killing me.  I am nervous, scared, and everything in between.  I know I have to remove my band, so no way around it.  I will stay positive and pray that all goes well.  It's all normal to feel this way, but I feel worst watching that scale climb to where I once was.  That scares me more to be honest.
