Changes

Feb 25, 2010

Life is always changing....since I've last posted I've had a couple fills. One of them was so tight I lost 23 pounds in 5 days. I couldn't eat or drink anything. Honestly, I haven't lost a lot of weight in the last year. I have struggled with vommitting everyday since I've had surgery. I have a 4cc Inamed Band. My port has always been funny. The doctor previously told me I might need to have it adjusted. I don't know if this has caused some of my problems. I finally went to the doctor and asked for a revision to RNY Gastric Bypass. (That was last week...the insurance request was sent last Friday.)  I found out yesterday that it is approved. My doctor is in Memphis and in December I moved to Acworth, Georgia (a suburb of Atlanta). I have to come back to Memphis for the surgery. Well, I have a date set for June 8th so my kids will be out of school. We will be staying with my family. I am hoping that I will finally be able to have somewhat normal life again. By that I mean, I have not been able to eat much at all since my original lap band surgery. My family has expressed to me many times that they were concerned at how sick I was and how none of them wanted to have the surgery despite being overweight. This happened so fast so I will be honest and say that I'm nervous or anxious about the surgery. Please keep me in your prayers. I would love to hear from anyone who has had this revision previously.
