Went to two different doctors for direction with my band...had oodles of tests....conclusion: band has to come out as I have major ulcers all the way up & down the insides of me....the starting of cancer if I do not have it removed.
I was ready to have the band removed without a replacement back up tool......I am radically blessed as I have a wonderful boyfriend who's ex brother in law is a bariatric surgeon. Met him on Easter and have had my second opinion with him. He suggested I have the VSG.
More food for thought.....
Research, research....checking my heart of hearts what do I want to do....
I thank God my boyfriend is supportive of me and my concerns....my BIGGEST concern is losing the weight too fast and looking like a plush alligator bag....lol, vanity has it's cost. He said we will take care of it together...meaning plastics...needless to say I am not scared of the surgery per say...it is the after affects that scare the bee jeebies out of me.
I am taking it one step at a time...I have the band removal scheduled for May 18th....yet still toying with the VSG option and just doing the steps that the doctor requires to see where this journey will lead....OK update from 2 days ago....decided to do nothing until I can wrap my head around it totally.....I am going to try to treat my ulcers in a wholisitc fashion & eat better and take it one step at a time....best to stand still for now!
God will direct my steps....that I am sure of!
