Changing Direction

Sep 16, 2012

 I had the endoscopy last Monday...it turns out that I'm unable to get the sleeve because I have Barrett's esophagus.  Which leaves me with either the band or RNY.   I'm not considering the band...

I was worried about RNY because of rerouting and malabsorption, but the more I read, it doesn't seem so bad.   I have to be careful not to rush into this and need to read more about what is in store for me if I have this done.  I never paid attention to what was involved in this procedure because I didn't want it.  Now I need to check into it more...

I spoke with my Dr. I have been approved for surgery and can be scheduled in a month...

I now start working toward the requirements for surgery...psych eval, nutrition appointments...yikes.
