Yeah, prior to my surgery I had five co-morbities.  I was living on borrowed time.  Now life is great, and no co-morbiities.  Now I spend most of my time brooding about how to come up with the money  to run a marathon in Bermuda.

 I'm 100% positive now that the bypass is for me, I'm just feeling a little weird about calling them again and switching, meaning that they'll have to send all new referrals. Thanks for the response!!

I can't help with a support groupin Dover but I run a support groupin Oak Orchard if you are interested in coming to the beach. I would also recommend the Victory meeting in New Castle. Best of luck to you and this journey. See you lighter. Joanne

 As all of you know, making the decision of which surgery to get is a hard one. Your doctor can reccommend one, but the end decision is usually up to you. I've been going back & forth between the band & the bypass (the only two my insurance cover). I recently found out that I have to start all my appointments over because clearences only last 6 months. They had to send all new referrals out, & they put on the referral that I want the band. Now I've changed my mind (for the 3rd time) back to the bypass. I was discussing it with my Mom & she said that she thinks I was thinking I was taking the easy way out with the band & that I would have more success with the bypass. Now, I have to call & change my surgery again & they have to send new referrals. Are they going to look at me weird because I've changed my mind so many times?

In my opinion, I'd believe that they get people who are undecided all the time & switch a few times, I just don't want to be the odd ball.
