Seen Dr Nye

Jun 16, 2009

Seen Dr Nye yesterday.  Discussed rny vs ds, said ds is normally for people over 600 lbs.  I think he is talking about bpd with ds, not the one everyone else is talking about.  He said he would do rny on me and do a long one which would lead to more malabsorption and could probably get me down 100 lbs, so I am a little discouraged.  Had hoped he would say I could loose more, but maybe he is wrong.  Hopefully when I do everything I am supposed to do I will lose more than 100 lbs.  Another reason for rny vs ds is my psych meds.  I hadn't thought of that before, though I knew there would be malabsorption I guess I just overlooked about my psych meds.  He said I would do better with the rny because of that.  I just don't know.

I got information pack from Dr Voellinger who does ds, do I may go see him and see what he says then decide.

Meanwhile I have to get cardiac clearance and pulmonary clearance.  The doctors would not see me without referral from primary dr so I am waiting to hear from here.

Right now I am not even sure I should follow through with it for 100 lbs worried about what it will do to my psych diagnosises.  I haven't been hospitalized since 8/08, but from 10/07 to 8/08 I was hospitalized for 4 times.  Guess I'll discuss it with therapist today and psychiatrist Thursday.  Both know I am trying to get this surgery and both are supportive.  Psychiatrist is good about working with me on meds so he will probably continue to do so.

Anyway enough for now.
