I have a surgery date
Jan 05, 2012
Well, I have never blogged before in my life.....but I am going to on this new journey. I have been going thru the process of getting all my testing done and jumping through the loopholes with my insurance. I finally have a surgery date schedu
led for Feb 16, 2012. The only problem is now which surgery am I going to go with. I want to have the Roux en Y, but my surgeon wants me to only do the band because of the fact I have Multiple Sclerosis. My neurologist doesn't want me to have either since they can't get my MS under control. I am at the heaviest weight I have ever been in my life (219 lbs). I didn't even weigh this much with any of my 3 pregnancies! I am going back on Monday to have another meeting with my surgeon to discuss the type of surgery that would best suit me. Since there is hardly any info out there of MS patients having bariatric surgery and the followup care they received ( being referred to as to whether they had more or less MS attacks) is the reason my surgeon is leary of the gastric bypass. I have 41 days to my surgery either way and I can't wait to begin to start it!
