Getting Closer.

Jul 19, 2014

Here is the update. I have been working so hard to get all of my requirements for surgery. I have been to the Pysch Consult, Sleep Consult, Endocrinologist, Cardiologist, Radiologist, Nutritionist, Blood Tests, Group Meetings, etc etc etc. I feel like there are so many different things that all have to agree that I can get the surgery, that something will go wrong and I will end up getting denied. I am not getting my hopes up until they tell me that I have been approved. I have been talking to my surgeon about the possibility of getting my surgery before I go back to school in September. If not, then I will have to wait until winter break. If everything goes as planned, pretty much as soon as I get the approval, I will be looking at the surgery a couple weeks later. To be honest, I am scared of the entire thing. I do want this revision to happen but, I am worried about everything that goes along with it. I am scared of the actual surgery. I am scared of the recovery. and I am scared of what my new life will be like. I did not really have the full picture of what life would be like with the band, until I had it. I feel that with the gastric bypass, I am stepping into the unknown once again. I think I will try to utilize this site a little more to try to get as much information as I can.
