confused!

Jan 09, 2011

 I am very confused with what surgery to have.
I went into options thinking lap band until I got educated quick.

All along I have been planning for the sleeve.
As of yesterday with all three surgeons at kaiser
I am considering the RNY.

My choices

Sleeve:
smaller stomach resists for
*My body will absorb nutrients

*easier surgery to do

*My acid reflux will get worse after surgery and will be on therapy before it gets better

*work harder at the weight loss with the mental food addiction and the emotional food addiction

* Life style change

RNY
*prevents sugar addiction ( my whole days is sugar only..I am an extreme addict)*

*Will get RID OF MY ACID REFLUX

*Gets rid of and the cure for diabetes. ( some will go home with reduce medication most will go home with none)
I i am only pre-diabetic, but talk about prevention.

*by passed the hormones which has something to do with diabetes, insulin, and sugar hunger still studying it and they don't fully understand it yet

*will not absorb nutrients

*better long term weight loss

* need to work on the mental addiction and emotional addiction but if you slip on sugar the body will prevent it by DUMPING SYNDROME!

*Life style change

**** My Surgery is Feb 1st and now I am considering the bypass. I am not sure if I can change the type of surgery and keep my surgery date.     Ughhhhhhhh.....   I will call Monday and find out.

I have a Hiatal Hernia and Umbilical Hernia and they will take care of this during surgery.
