The journey continues.....

Jan 14, 2011

I can't believe that it's been almost 5 years. I decided, after I was treated so horribly, that maybe WLS wasn't for me. And then....it happened. I finally quit smoking, and I immediately gained 35 lbs. Because of the extra weight, I was in constant pain from my back. To the point where it's excruciating, at it's best. So I decided to go to the Institute of Bariatric surgery at Abington hospital. These docs are absolute wonderful! I had my EGD on 1/12/11, and they will be submitting to the insurance company today, for approval. I had initially thought about getting the Lapband, but after doing lots of research, and talking with lots of people, I think the Vertical Sleeve is best for me. I am sooooo excited and nervous. I could possibly have a surgery date by the end of the month!
