Finally!

Feb 21, 2017

I can't believe I finally got the approval.  Well sort of.  They are going to do a similar-to-GB on my stomach as it is being coded as an inpatient general surgery.  The polyps and stomach issues are reason my stomach will be disected and sent to a lab for testing.  The Dr. stated it is like GB but not completely.  Either way I am happy to finally be able to get back to being happy.  I have gained so much weight...now up to 240.  Unhappy, tired, emotional, and roll this all up with feet, knee, and back pain it has not been a great couple of years.  I still walk and do the elliptical and try to keep busy as much as possible.  I have also started B-12 injections as my levels were in the low 200s.  Now after a few months I am back up to over 700.  I have had 9 different changes to my depression medicine and with that came all the extra weight.  However, I think now we have found the correct dosage to keep me somewhat sane.  I see the doctor on 6 March to schedule the surgery and get the specific details of my surgery.  I am finally seeing the light at the end of the long (almost) 2 year road.
